“Brawny shuffles, swinging horns, searing guitar, passionate vocals and balls-to-the-wall enthusiasm” – LIVING BLUES World-renowned, horn-powered, houserocking blues band releases their first new album in five years. Recipients of five Grammy nominations and winners of multiple Blues Music Awards (the Grammy of the blues), plus numerous victories in DownBeat’s International Critics Poll, Roomful of Blues are celebrated coast to coast and around the world. They’ve scanned over 364,000 units, even though their first six releases predated SoundScan. And Roomful of Blues continues to break new ground on Steppin’ Out, debuting dynamic new vocalist DD Bastros, the band’s first female singer. Roomful’s muscular, horn-driven blues and high-voltage live performances have garnered media praise for decades. A hero’s welcome is expected throughout blues and roots music press for Steppin’ Out. The title will be aggressively promoted to over 700 print and internet media contacts around the world for reviews and features, plus over 1400 radio contacts for regular airplay and specialty show spins. Every gig will be promoted to print, radio and online media as well. Steppin’ Out adds powerful, soul-stirring vocalist DD Bastros to the band’s potent, impeccable musicianship on an exhilarating mix of jump, swing, proto rock ‘n’ roll and funky, contemporary blues, including timeless gems first cut by Etta James, Big Mama Thornton, Jimmy McCracklin, Tiny Bradshaw and more. Bastos’ and the band’s emotional connection to the material is palpable from the first note to the last.
