Ghost Town Blues Band
Funky grooves with horns for a big blues sound
Beale Street's latest success story and 2014 INTERNATIONAL BLUES CHALLENGE 2nd Place Winner is Ghost Town Blues Band. Their debut release Dust the Dust, Inside Sounds has received an impressive amount of airplay throughout the US and Europe. The recording won the Euro-pean Independent Music Label Award for "Top Sound" in blues. Both Preston McEwen behind the drums and Alex Piazza on the bass guitar are a punishing rhythm section behind Matt Isbell with raunchy guitar licks and chainsaw rhythms. With the addition of horn players Coleman Garrett, Silky Smooth Suavo Jones and Jeremy Powell on keys, the grooves go from funky to funk-nasty as the band gains more notoriety in the international blues scene.
