THE BAD NEWS BLUES BAND

The Bad News Blues Band has earned a well-deserved reputation for house-burning live performances all over the United States as well as Canada, Mexico, Turkey, Romania, Ireland, the U.K. and even Moscow, Russia! With their latest ARV Records release, “Live at Hot Licks” produced by Steve Grams and Mike Blommer, they’ve been touring the West spreading their brand of  blues with the fire and intensity that their live shows are renowned for worldwide.

In the almost 20 years since the band formed they have won numerous local and regional awards including first place in the 1997 and 2002 Arizona Blues Shootout. Winning the AZ Blues Shootout earned them a spot at the International Blues and talent competition in Memphis Tennessee sponsored by the Blues Foundation. The band has the distinct honor of being the first blues band ever to be added to the artist roster for the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.

This Tucson Blues Hall of Fame band has a smoking hot rhythm section, sweet smoldering horns, blistering guitar, and an impressive frontline of dynamic vocals, that is sure to Knock You Out!
