The Soulard Blues Band
Like the Blues themselves, the Soulard Blues Band has become something of a St. Louis tradition. Voted best Blues Artists for the last eight years, these native St. Louis musicians have adopted the blues as a way of life... Their style is the embodiment of true Saint Louis Blues, a mixture of Rhythm and Blues, New Orleans, Zydeco and St. Louis Jazz. The result is a fresh and energizing sound with a down-home feel that has been packing houses across the Midwest and reaching crowds as far as New York, Chicago and New Orleans for nearly twenty years.
"This is great stuff! This is what happens when you hang in there for 18 years. You learn the mystical combination of abandon, humor and respect. On this, the Soulard Blues Band's fifth release, they combine all the above ingredients, along with the unlikely mix of trumpet and harmonica (a little abandon perhaps, or healthy disrespect), and have come up with one of the strongest regional releases of the past year."
