RCBS Presents Blues and Brews at The Camel - the finest in local blues bands.
Next up: Josh Lief Blues Band. Friday, April 27, 5 PM, no cover charge.
Josh Lief started playing guitar when he was 6 years old. His style
is a mixture of all the music he loved as a young musician. His influences
started with his big three of Hendrix, Clapton, and Led Zeppelin. He also
learned a lot of country-style lead guitar from being a huge Southern Rock fan
as well as the classic country of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings. He is
also a huge fan of Neil Young, the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead
and they can be heard in his lead playing and writing. He can play a wide
range of styles from rock to blues to country to folk.
The Josh Lief Blues Band
is Josh on guitar and vocals with the rhythm section of Debbie Flood on drums and Tommy Dacat
on bass. Deb and Tommy are veterans of several well known Richmond bands, and
Deb has
toured extensively as well as recorded with many artists. They're
a great team and bring a solid yet exciting rhythm section to live performances.
The band is currently working on a new album called “James River Blues”,
recorded at Montrose Recording in Richmond, VA.
The new album should be out in the summer of 2018.
The River City Blues Society of Virginia is organized exclusively for educational, literary, artistic and charitable purposes. We are a non-profit, volunteer-based organization dedicated to the promotion, preservation, and perpetuation of the Blues as an original American art form.
