The
58's Blues Band
The 58's are a classic Blues band which herald from Birmingham, UK. They play their own versions of classic blues tracks in their own individual way. Their set is built around, and inspired by, many of the great blues artists both past and present. The 58's have an ever growing following wherever they perform be it small or large venues and festivals. The 58 Blues Band are one of the most exciting, and gritty Blues bands around.
The '58's sound draws on classic hard edged
Chicago blues, filtered through the sound of the mid ’60s British
blues boom.
Inspiration comes from many of the great names in blues, past and
present, with pioneers like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and B.B.
King rubbing shoulders with more contemporary names such as Stevie
Ray Vaughan, Paul Rogers and Rory Gallagher.
With a well chosen set of evergreen ...and lesser known
numbers.
The 58's reinterpret the work of past masters with
grit and verve, putting their own distinctive stamp on these
classic songs.

THE BLUES ARE BACK IN BRUM
The Blues came back with a bang to Birmingham when The
58s Blues Band played the opening night at
Nothing But The Blues at The Asylum 2 in Hockley Last
week
Hot on the heels of what appears to be
the final closure of The Crown, and with it the now forlorn hope
that Henry’s Blueshouse will ride again, Nothing But The Blues is
busy recapturing the spirit of Henry’s with a series of top
Birmingham Blues outfits featured every Tuesday – because
Tuesday's is Bluesday's.
