Multi-instrumentalists BluesAngels formed in 2010 to bring original and trad acoustic folk blues/jazz/roots to the Central Coast and beyond.
From jug band to New Orleans string shake, Chicago blues bellow to bluegrass bounce, plugged or unplugged, BluesAngels 4-piece will warm your whiskers with their backhills bemoaning and beatnik beatitudes. Guitars and gobirons, mandos and banjos, the Beatles bass and a thimbleful of washboard waling, it’s trad east coast blues the way we don't often hear it; pre-WW1 songcatchers matched with post-WW2 blues-bashers and modern times' rootsabilly.

John's Community Event in GREEN POINT, Feb 2020

Magnificent band with plenty of interesting and quirky entertainment ideas. We ran a Lifestyle Village expo with 170 attendees and BluesAngels made the day really happen! Totally recommended by us all.
