This stellar line up of veteran Chicago Blues sidemen have come together with Dan ‘King’ Kahn's masterful guitar playing, insightful songwriting and soulful singing to create a powerhouse of funky, soulful, groove driven, guitar rippin’ Blues inspired music. Kahn, along with band mates Roger Femali, Roberto Agosto, and Nate Winchell have an impressive list of accomplishments opening shows for the likes of B.B. King, Robert Plant, The Doobie Brothers, The Allman Brothers Band, Little Feat, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, Kenny Wayne Shepard, the list goes on…
These four masterful musicians flawlessly blend their Blues and Classic rock roots with modern rock sensibilities resulting in a guitar driven, hypnotic, R&B, groove oriented jam. Playing in clubs such as Buddy Guys Legends (Chicago), Kingston Mines (Chicago), House of Blues (Chicago), BB Kings (Memphis), Bourbon Street blues & Boggie Bar (Nashville) and festivals such as Chicago Blues Fest, Rib Fest (Naperville), Psouto Blues Festival (Heilsenki, Finland) the original members of the Anthony Gomes Band these guys have moved together through various bands and have finally found their way home.
The driving force behind PURE BLUE, Kahn tastefully phrases his sweet guitar tone and smooth vibrato claiming his very own distinctive style and sound. Soulful and always from the heart his expressive songs and guitar playing have roots planted firmly in the classic 60's, early 70's Blues/Rock tradition. Dan 'King' Kahn's masterful guitar playing has been compared to Eric Claypton, Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler and S.R.V. Taking every opportunity to stretch out the jams in the tradition of The Allman Bros, The Grateful Dead, Little Feet, Hendrix and Bob Marley, PURE BLUE dances effortlessly between deep pocket grooves and soulful guitar playing creating a distictive sound that is all there own.
