Reviews of Blues Bands available in Outer Banks, North Carolina, United States

5/5 from 347 reviews
Photo of Nadia Koz Experiment Nadia Koz Experiment "Nadia Koz played as a solo performer at our sisters birthday party at our house in the large backyard. She was on time to set up, was really kind and fun to talk to, and started exactly when she was supposed to. Her song choice somehow fit perfectly for the vibe we wanted, and she used some crazy guitar pedals, and was able to sound like a bunch of people playing instead of one. No complaints, it was the best hire we could've had." Based in Williamsburg, Virginia Wyatt Baldwin - Private Party Photo of Jimi King Trio Jimi King Trio "Awesome! Jimi and the guys were SO good--perfect for our event and loved by our team and guests! Jimi was super-responsive with communications--very nice to work with. Will definitely book them again in the future! Hired as: Blues Band, Classic Rock Band" Based in Raleigh, North Carolina 7th October 2026 Laura L. H. - Corporate Event Photo of Johnny and the Headhunters Johnny and the Headhunters "There’s more to Johnny Ticktin than meets the eye. Well-versed in the blues, having once served as lead guitar player for the legendary Louisiana Red, the open-minded Ticktin is a sponge, soaking up the subtle six-string nuances and intricacies of a multitude of genres—from surf to classic R&B, swing and even Mambo—on his eighth album with The Headhunters, That’s All I Need. It would feel right at home in any rough-and-tumble roadhouse. The title is borrowed from a song, covered here in all its dark, swampy glory, off Magic Sam’s 1967 iconic electric blues marvel West Side Soul. Watery, backwoods ripples of Sam’s tremolo guitar style and seductive rhythms meander through Creedence Clearwater Revival’s mysterious kudzu on Johnny & The Headhunters’ version, as Ticktin and company paddle up a lazy river of Bayou groove. Just as fluent in nasty rockabilly, they thrive in the sweltering heat of the 1957 obscurity “Chicken House,” giving it a warm buzz and making it rumble and swagger, while the lascivious, infectious funk of “Body and Fender” – a Doc Pomus/Duke Robillard joint originally built for soul crooner Johnny Adams – shakes all over and ogles the female form. A rousing, boogie-woogie version of Lowell Fulsom’s Chess Records’ hit “Rock ‘Em Dead” is wonderfully shambolic, and Ticktin rides the lightning of the Link Wray instrumental “Ace of Spaces” like a champ, gleefully wheeling through edgy garage-rock riffs with appropriate vim and vigor. What feel he and his band have for this material. There is not the slightest bit of indifference to it anywhere on this record. Not that they need it, but help arrives in the form of keyboardist Tam Sullivan, who wraps smoky, sensual organ and wraiths of piano around a soulful remake of Bobby “Blue” Bland’s “Lead Me On,” and singer Liz Springer, who joins her brazen vocals to Ticktin’s in the cheeky, but charming, duet “Watch and Chain.” And, with the solid machinery of a good backing band at work behind him, Ticktin can just let loose – witness the slide-guitar fury of their cover of Elmore James’ “Shake Your Money Maker.” For aficionados of tasteful guitar work and music that time shouldn’t have forgotten, this is what you need. —Peter Lindblad SPREAD THE NEWS!
