BAND PLAYS UNTIL 2 AM
BLUES PEOPLE is a NY/NJ blues band featuring ...
KELTON COOPER (vocals/guitar), MIKE GRIOT (bass), VICTOR BURKS (vocals/keys) and GENE LAKE (drums). Early comparisons to the Meters, Luther Allison, Keb Mo' and even Earth Wind & Fire are starting to roll in!
Having released two promotional singles in 2022 ("The Skin I'm In" and "Troubled Times"), the band is busy in the studio finishing up their much-anticipated 2023 debut album "Troubled Times".
Blues People: Acknowledging Amiri Baraka's (LeRoi Jones) seminal study of African-American music, Blues People musically explores the effects of the blues on modern American culture on many universal levels... and is a modern chronicle of four "real-life blues brothers" living in THIS time in America... while surviving the NY/NJ-Metro urban landscape.
