Charlie Vegas & The New Blues Combo
Inquire
About Booking This Artist
Who is Charlie Vegas? The man himself calls his stuff 'space age retro'. Think early '50s rock meets classic blues, only different. It's swing, rockabilly, jump and some R&B all melded together Charlie-style. Backed up by the hot New Blues Combo, Charlie Vegas' cool sounds will blow you away. Some folks think of The King when he shows up in his funky black outfit. Others say he's a LOT of Kings, from B.B. to Freddie. Charlie and the New Blues Combo re-interpret big blues classics from giants like Muddy Waters and T-Bone Walker. His personal 'Joisey' style tosses in hints of old blue eyes, little sinister Sinatra-isms. Speaking of 'Joisey,' one panting fan swears when she watches Charlie, she thinks of The Boss. One night with Charlie may not be enough, but it's a chance to soak up some retro roadhouse cool, authentic down and dirty hip-swingin' blues.
