Winter Blues Fest

There's no better way to beat the doldrums of winter than Willimantic's Winter Blues Fest.
The Mighty Soul Drivers join forces with One-Eyed Johnny & the Gravediggers to help you dance away those winter blues with a night chock-full of rockin' Soul dance numbers, down-in-the-alley testifying, and some funky Blues.
The Mighty Soul Drivers bring the classic Soul sounds of Memphis, Muscle Shoals and points South to the hills of New England. The Mighty Soul Drivers take their inspiration from the giants of Southern Soul - O.V. Wright, Percy Sledge, Otis Redding and more and combine that with contemporary tunes written in the classic style. The Mighty Soul Drivers turn every venue they play into a Soul dance party!
One-Eyed Johnny & the Gravediggers: One Eyed Johnny takes you to the Heartland of the country through Chicago down to Texas, Louisiana, the Delta, and home again. While blending and crossing genres on their new CD "Devils Dancing", the Gravediggers pay tribute to the American Songbook. This excellent new band was a finalist in the 2014 Connecticut Blues Society Band Challenge. Since then the band has been gigging non-stop, logging over eighty shows in the past year, packing dance floors in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

Tickets sell out early so buy ahead of time to be sure to get in!
