Roomful of Blues at Jimmy's Jazz and Blues Club in Portsmouth, NH on Thursday, September 17, 2026. Category: Music · Blues. Roomful of Blues has spent more than five decades setting the standard for horn-driven blues and R&B. Formed in Rhode Island in 1967, the Grammy-nominated ensemble has earned a reputation for its electrifying blend of jump blues, swing, soul, and rock 'n' roll, with DownBeat calling them "a class by themselves." Led by master guitarist Chris Vachon since 1998, the band has received five Grammy nominations, seven Blues Music Awards, and was twice named Best Blues Band in the DownBeat International Critics Poll. Known for their powerhouse horn section and high-energy performances, Roomful of Blues has shared stages with legends including B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and Carlos Santana while touring extensively throughout North America and abroad. Today's lineup features vocalist D.D. Bastos, whose soulful voice brings new energy to the band's signature sound, alongside longtime saxophonist Rich Lataille and a stellar ensemble of seasoned musicians.
