The Michael Vincent Band is a three piece blues band from central New England that has been touring and playing music together for over 13 years. They are currently on tour to support the release of their new EP, Mama’s Rockin’.
The MVB was born and raised on blues in one of the most unlikely of all places : New Hampshire. Their sheltered environment made them long to reach deeper into the music that they loved, and they soon took their band on the road after high school. All of the Gulf Coast, Beale Street in Memphis, Frenchman’s Street in New Orleans, and even a few trips through Chicago helped put a little hair on their sound and season these young musicians into the polished performers you hear today. They just finished up a 9200 mile tour of the country with stops in Buffalo, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, and Pensacola before making their way back up the East Coast.
They are very excited to be bringing to their stage a veteran of the blues world, Ron Levy. Mr. Levy has not only played with B.B. King on some of his most prolific live albums, but also with other legends such as Albert King and Roomful of Blues. His own group, Ron Levy’s Wild Kingdom, also made a splash in the blues world with exciting high energy blues and upbeat Jazz numbers that he mastered on his Hammond B3. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime show to catch your favorite up and comers with one of the baddest in the blues!
"Vincent and the boys dish out blues, honky tonk, and southern rock flavored numbers with unwavering authority” Brian Owens, Metronome Magazine

Chris Fitz broke into the Boston music scene back in 1994 after a 5 year stint in the San Francisco area. Chris honed his blues guitar chops by floating around all the blues clubs in the Bay Area and finding inspiration in the local and national blues artists who frequented them. Upon moving back to Boston, his hometown, he wasted no time hitting the various blues jams around the city. His blistering guitar work soon began to make an impact!
Over twenty years and thousands of gigs later, the Chris Fitz Band, with Chris as band leader, singer, song writer, guitar player, Dan Bunge on Drums and "Fretless Dave Kendarian" on bass remains one of the premier "original" blues and roots acts in all of New England.

The Racky Thomas Blues Band has been a torchbearer for the blues since its formation in 1995, when Racky Thomas collaborated with bassist Todd Carson, guitarist Nick Adams, and drummer Ted Larkin to make a demo cd, and do some gigs around the Boston area. Thomas has a vast repertoire of tunes – blues from world-class bluesmen, plantation gospel (the original blues), rocking electric blues, classic and obscure blues, and Racky Thomas blues! including “Matchbox Blues”, “Biscuit-Bakin’ Woman”, “Mona”, “Sugar-coated Love”, “Big Road Blues”, “Hoochie-Coochie Man”, and “Mojo Workin’” (to name a few).
Gutsy vocals, down and dirty harmonica, smoking guitar, a killer rhythm section delivering pure unadulterated blues, and you've got the Racky Thomas Band. Twice nominated for Boston Music Awards, and winners of the 1997 Battle of the Blues bands you've only got to experience them once to become a believer.
