Funky sound of Chris Canas Blues Revolution helps keep the party going at Guy Hollerin's
If you’ve ever seen the Chris Canas Blues Revolution perform, then you know the band loves a good time. The group, with its blues-meets-funk-meets neo-soul sound, is next up in the ongoing Local Blues Local Brews series at Guy Hollerin’s Saturday night.
Canas, who describes himself as a “soldier for the blues,” has put together an ensemble of veteran musicians who offer a well-chosen set of classic covers and funky, smooth originals that keep the party going and the dance floor full.
The group consists of Canas (vocals), Angie Cottingham (background vocals, percussion), Kevin Schoepke (bass) and Mickey Coleman (percussion).
On the band’s Web site, Canas said he formed the group to play his soul and funk-infused blues not only for seasoned music lovers, but also to attract young listeners to help keep the blues alive.
Whenever Canas and the gang play, the blues seem to be doing very well indeed.
Chris Canas Blues Revolution plays the Local Blues Local Brews series at Guy Hollerin’s, 3600 Plymouth Road, Saturday, Aug. 17, at 8 p.m. Admission is $5. 734-769-4323.
