Live Music for Any Occasion

---

Blues 9 is the perfect band for your wedding, birthday party, rehearsal dinner, street dance, corporate event, cocktail party or any random celebration.  They easily adapt to any crowd and keep them dancing all night long!!!

 

"Blues 9" was originally formed to be a house band for Moore's Mill Club's weekly Tuesday night Blues & BBQ family dinner and was strictly an experimental idea from the get go. During the spring of 2005 local musicians Kevin Vannoy (vocals, tenor sax & harmonica), Robert Orr (vocals & guitar), Nancy Cleveland (piano), Blake Cleveland (bass), Jeff Stallworth (drums) and Joel Hughes (auxiliary percussion & licensed bongo beater) were assembled to lend their talents and musical skill to help entertain and provide a draw for the MMC members, guests and the Auburn Community. Having played with each other before in different capacities and combinations the band had no trouble blending together their talents. After the first few weeks the group began to really “click” and quickly gathered a small following.

Having evolved into to full blown working band, starting in 2008 Blues 9 has added even more variety to their act and on certain occasions Jay Knorr (formally of The Tony Brook Band & Zig and the Zigtones) joins the lineup on vocals and drums.  Also rounding out the line-up, Wendy Hamme is sometimes plugged in as a female vocalist giving the band a broader range of versatility. 

With a very diverse repertoire "Blues 9" appeals to any music lover and covers a broad range of influence and style. The group generates tremendous charisma and energy every time they hit the stage. Their individual love of music is what drives their performance and fuels the sounds and experiences they create.
