Bio
The Harmonica Blu Xpress came together in the summer of 2010. Blu had earlier met guitarist Dave Myre at blues jams and when James Cookie Cooke showed up at a jam Blu knew he had found his bassist. Drummer Randy Pittman was playing in another band with Dave, who brought him on board.
Blu brings a love of classic blues from Chicago and the Deep South, jazz training and experience as a vocalist in the Big Apple, as well as his own blues and jazz originals to the mix. Dave and Randy bring in classic blues/rock tunes. Cookie has a broad and deep background (from Elvis tunes to jazz standards) and enables us to add faves such as Will You Love Me Tomorrow and Miles Davis' All Blues, on which Blu sings a rarely heard lyric. (Well, not so rarely now!) Dave has jazz chops on guitar. So we come at ya with a core of blues with swing, jump, classic rock, and sophisticated jazz as icing on the cake.
Blu loves to relate to the audience and get people up dancing and singing along on the refrains to his tunes Taxation Blues and Trouble with a T.
