New Legacy Blues Blues Band from Alexandria, VA

New Legacy Blues was formed by seasoned musicians in the Washington DC metropolitan area to bring a modern sound to classic blues. This five-piece unit delivers tight, upbeat performances with songs drawn from the Chicago, Memphis, and Austin blues scenes. The band is committed to music that inspires the audience to listen...and get up and dance. Guitarist, Bob Deforge, brings a diversity of playing styles, from driving R&B rhythms to subtle blues lines, and adds soulful vocals to the mix. Fiddler, Sam Baumel, offers a unique sound to blues classics, ranging from traditional fiddle to new tones reminiscent of harmonica, keys and slide guitar. Keyboard player, Michael Tow, adds melodic piano and organ sounds as sonic "frosting" to the mix. The band is anchored by a powerful rhythm section consisting of Phil Hamm, a dynamic bassist, and Marc Zoellner an “in the pocket” drummer. Both Phil and Marc sing lead on many songs. New Legacy Blues delivers its brand of electric blues with the passion and integrity of a group that has spent decades refining its craft. The band is available for performances throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Most of our bookings since COVID have all come from outside Bash. Our website and our Facebook page have a recent history of our performances. For more information please see our website: www.newlegacyblues.com
