The Bluelights have often been described as “Roots Music in Overdrive.” We draw on a wide variety of traditional music to create a new style infused with the energy of the rock ‘n’ roll music of our generation. The Bluelights perform original music, early jazz, blues, swing, standards, jug band, gospel, pop music from the turn of the century and roots rock’n’roll. We started in 1986, and continue to perform at festivals throughout North America. We are appropriate for a wide variety of settings: from smoky bars to outdoor concerts to private parties Our latest recording “Rub That Rhythm” was released in November 2006.  Attention non-profits: Funding assistance via New England Touring Arts Programs - N.E.S.T.
