When you hear a Boa Constrictor concert you are truly hearing Michigan Blues.
In the short time they've been a band they've opened shows for Charlie Musselwhite, Jason Ricci and New Blood, and the legendary Motown session band the Funk Brothers.
The Boa Constrictors are influenced by the Detroit Blues and the Chicago harmonica bands of Little Walter, Junior Wells and Sonny Boy Williamson, as well as the swinging guitar sounds of B.B. King and T-Bone Walker. Add to this a large helping of classic boogie piano and groovy B-3 organ and you have a classic Boa Constrictors show.
Their shows are always spontaneous, energetic, and fun, and full of the honesty and sincerity that makes Blues the most exciting American musical art form.
Jazz & Blues at the Library is a monthly program series featuring two important forms of American music. A $3.00 admission is charged for live performances. Show your Friends of Southfield Public Library Membership card to receive a discount. No admission is charged for children under 12.
Jazz & Blues is sponsored by Michigan First Credit Union, Detroit Blues Society, Vintage Village Fine Wine and Friends of the Southfield Public Library.
