Bees Deluxe Sting at the Toad

Bees Deluxe, NH State 2025 Blues Challenge Winners are headed to compete at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, January. Before they go, the band returns to their favorite Cambridge Pub gig TOAD 1912 Mass Ave, Cambridge Massachusetts on Sunday August 17 at 4:00pm. Playing tracks form their recent album (available at shows) “Smash Hits” the band features Carol Band on keyboards, Harmonica &amp; vocals, Allyn “Aldo” Dorr bass &amp; vocals, Paul Giovine drums &amp; percussion and Conrad Warre strangling guitar necks.  Bees Deluxe is a Boston-based four-piece blues band renowned for their unique “acid blues” sound—a fusion of Chicago electric blues, jazz, and New Orleans funk, reimagined for the 21st century. The band recently won the Granite State Blues Challenge and are set to compete at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Anchored by British guitarist Conrad Warre, who toured with Joe Jackson, Bees Deluxe also features keyboardist/vocalist Carol Band, and Paul Giovine on drums. They are celebrated for tight musicianship and innovative, danceable interpretations of songs by legends like Etta James, Miles Davis, and Freddie King. With acclaimed original albums such as Voice of Dog and Mouthful of Bees, they have won audiences from Maine to Mississippi. Bees Deluxe - “This is what Steely Dan would sound like if they played the blues”  — John Kereiff, The Rock Doctors Hot Wax Album Reviews.
