Roomful of Blues
Roomful of BluesAbout this event
Roomful of Blues has spent more than five decades setting the standard for horn-driven blues and R&B. Formed in Rhode Island in 1967, the Grammy-nominated ensemble has earned a reputation for its electrifying blend of jump blues, swing, soul, and rock 'n' roll, with DownBeat calling them "a class by themselves." Led by master guitarist Chris Vachon since 1998, the band has received five Grammy nominations, seven Blues Music Awards, and was twice named Best Blues Band in the DownBeat International Critics Poll. Known for their powerhouse horn section and high-energy performances, Roomful of Blues has shared stages with legends including B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and Carlos Santana. Jimmy's features a full-service restaurant, and food is available for purchase at every performance. Doors open at 5:30 PM, when you can order dinner directly from your ticketed seat, no separate dinner reservations needed! Kitchen service runs from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
