After the performance of their new album, the band will perform the “Queens of the Blues” soundtrack as a Black History Month celebration. The Queens of the Blues<\/em> movie shows the lives of four African-American female blues artists: Bessie Smith<\/a>, Big Mama Thornton, Ruth Brown, and Koko Taylor. All four of these women made an undeniable impact on blues, jazz, and popular music throughout the twentieth century and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All compositions on None More Blue<\/em> were written during the pandemic and show the connections the band was able to maintain despite a remote environment. The album release date is February 14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
