ALL SALES FINAL. No refunds or exchanges.

Get ready for an old school, classic night of down home blues with slicked-back Memphis P’Tails and good-old blues and R&B with Santa Fe based band, the Pleasure Pilots.

                  

 Memphis P'Tails                                    Pleasure Pilots

Memphis P’Tails: When you talk about the Memphis P. Tails, you’re talking raw blues. The real blues. The roots. No pretense. No studio tricks, no glossy polish. Not “blues funk”, or any other sort of blues derivative. It's straight blues, no chaser. The sound is clean and hard-driving, with roots in the Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi Delta blues, with a little Chicago thrown in for good measure. This is a classic sound, a throwback to the true roots of blues and blues rock, and yet modern in its delivery and relevance. It is a sound so distinctive, so compelling, and so timeless, that it gets down to the bottom of your soul – and stays there. The blues is universal, and the P. Tails are masters of the genre. If you listen, you will be hooked.

Pleasure Pilots: The Pleasure Pilots is a Santa Fe, New Mexico based band specializing in old school styles of blues and R&B, as well as their own original music. Included in their repertoire are songs from the greats such as Amos Milburn, T-Bone Walker, Albert King, Ray Charles and Fats Domino. With a driving rhythm section, great horn section, powerful vocals and musicianship, they make an undeniably compelling force behind dancing feet!
