Billy Branch and his harp were in the house Tuesday evening for another wonderful evening of the blues. He has been singing and playing the harmonica in the Chicago blues style since the late 1960's and was part of the Willie Dixon led Chicago Blues All Stars. He went on to found his own group The Sons of the Blues, along with Lurrie Bell and Freddie Dixon (sons of Carey Bell and Willie Dixon), and hence the name of the group. Except for him, that is, as he laughingly bantered with the audience during his show. Accompanying Billy Branch were Bruce Alford on bass, Don Rembert on guitar, Joey B. Banks on drums and A.J. Love on guitar. Local blues diva, Queenie McCarter Wade also joined in for a couple of songs after being called on by Mr. Billy Branch. Here are some pictures from the show. Enjoy!
