Jordan Lunardini & The Bad Beat

The music will take you on a ride, showing you the heart of the blues and also the humorous side of blues music. The maturity of the music may make it hard to believe the age of the band members. With the combination of their unorthodox mix of blues-rock, gospel and youth, listeners are often taken aback by their live show. With a sound that the band refers to as the “new school of the blues,” Jordan Lunardini and The Bad Beat create a unique brand of blues that is here to stay.
