What to expect

We are a professional band. We have our two PA systems, one for small venues and one for larger and outdoor venues.
Wherever we play, we will PLAY OUR ASSES OFF!

We are prompt and on time for load-ins, sound checks, etc.
We are a very friendly and love to interact with the crowd.
We play a mix of covers and originals. We are NOT a tribute band. We have enough original material for a 90 minute show.
We take requests, but if we don’t know the song we will respectfully decline to play it.

You will never be disappointed if you hire us!

About

During a recent radio interview, the interviewer asked, “Who is the band leader?” We looked at each other and shrugged...

50 SHADES OF BLUE is truly a collaborative, democratic band (except for the fact that Doc books nearly all the gigs, manages the live sound, does all the social media work and manages the website🙄). Like all democracies our creative process can be noisy and even contentious. But the end result is always better than any one of us had imagined in the first place!

You take some of Dan Crecco’s New Orleans tinged drums and percussion, add Christine Webb’s soulful vocals and solid bass lines, then throw in Doc Seely’s mastery of all things with six strings, and you have yourself a savory gumbo of funkilicious blues and R&B!!

So, come see us sometime! We’l have you coming back for seconds…and thirds!!

Additional booking notes

All we need is adequate space for our trio, electricity, and, if outside, we want to be covered.
