Roomful Of Blues

Roomful of Blues is an American jump blues and swing revival big band based in Rhode Island. With a recording career that spans over 50 years, they have toured worldwide and recorded many albums. Roomful of Blues, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, "Swagger, sway and swing with energy and precision". Since 1967, the group’s blend of swing, rock and roll, jump blues, boogie-woogie and soul has earned it five Grammy Award nominations and many other accolades, including seven Blues Music Awards (with a victory as Blues Band Of The Year in 2005). Billboard called the band "a tour de force of horn-fried blues…Roomful is so tight and so right." The Down Beat International Critics Poll has twice selected Roomful of Blues as Best Blues Band. Roomful of Blues is currently an eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon and featuring long-time tenor and alto sax player Rich Lataille. In 2024, singer DD Bastos took over the vocal duties, replacing Phil Pemberton. Recent members are trumpeter Christopher Pratt, bassist Lou Bocciarelli and drummer Mike Coffey, joining on baritone and tenor saxophonist Craig Thomas and keyboardist Jeff Ceasrine. Over the years there have been over 55 Roomful of Blues members.
