Chicago Blues Cruise

Chicago Blues Cruise is a Copenhagen-based Urban blues band, that plays danceable blues with lots of musical energy!

The recipe is a charming show band performing with shiny instruments, big smiles and lots of twinkle in the eye.

The menu consists of a genuine portion "Blues Gumbo"; from Chicago Blues through Texas Blues to Vocal Jazz/Philly Soul piquantly spiced with a little Motown Soul.

Served in exciting combinations; from 5 - 9 instruments depending on the arrangement, economy or stage size – but always served with intense conviction!
