The Bluestar band made our party a cherished event, the music was superb the band members easy to communicate with before, they set up everything needed. They were the best.
Response from Bluestar Band:
Thank you for allowing us to share the Birthday Party! We had a blast.
Johnny Guitar and the Bluestar Band were great! Old school blues for our Chicago themed event. We had a lot of Chicagoans at the party last night who love the blues and Bluestar delivered. Several people came up to me and asked how to get in touch with them for future events. I told them about GigSalad. I highly recommend this band to anyone who enjoys the blues. Thank you!

Thanks Mary, we had a blast playing music for you.

Kevin O'Connor was born to play the blues. He grew up in Chicago, played around the south side, Kevin joined a band that was the opening act for Buddy Guy at Buddy Guy's legends. Jimmy Dawkins called on him for tours of the east and west coasts of the U.S.; then on to Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Lately Kevin says "Just like my old boss Jimmy Dawkins used to say, 'I can't shake these blues'!"--
Now he's the lead singer and guitarist for Bluestar Band.
Carolyn Davis tickles the ivories and adds her sultry vocals to Bluestar Band. She's classically trained, and once opened for Dickie Betts!
Beth the Velvet Hammer began playing accordion when she was five. In fact, she played her accordion at a fund raiser for President John F. Kennedy as a youngster, and got to meet him at the time. Beth worked in broadcasting, radio then television, and has the distinction of having interviewed 4 U.S. presidents. Bass and blues are what she loves now. She played bass with the late Johnny Guitar for years, who she met while playing with the late blues icon James Peterson. Beth also does a blues radio show on WSLR Community Radio, produces music videos, designs websites, publishes CD's for musicians and writes music.
Yes, we have a drummer! Vinny Vingelli played with Sarasota's Main Street Station Band, and most recently played with Koko Ray. Over the years he's added the backbeat to many bands in Sarasota, including the Suncoast Sidemen and more. Now Bluestar claims him as their own.
Yes we have a saxophone player, Michael Pawlus has played everything from jazz to blues while growing up in Chicago. He also plays keyboards. The 20 year Sarasota resident and periodontist played in Chicago's Moonlight jazz orchestra, and while in Gainesville was part of the house band at Lillians. His Sarasota credits range from The Alternators, to the Kara Nally Band, Cahoots, and the Flying V Jazz Quartet.
