The North Central Florida Blues Society is excited to bring for the first time to Gainesville, Toots Lorraine & The Traffic. This husband (guitarist Chad Dant) and wife team share the purest of love for the preservation of the Blues. Toots Lorraine expertly layers her powerful yet velvety voice amongst the band’s vintage instrumentation and gut bucket grooves. Along with classic Blues covers of Big Mama Thornton, Howlin’ Wolf and Big Joe Turner, you’ll also find new originals with a huge story to tell, sounding like Memphis Minnie sides you just don’t remember hearing. They are a mind-blowing experience for people that like it old school and bluesy, and also vintage sounds of West Coast Jump Blues and Swing.
Opening the show is the Root Redemption Duo – Alan Yeatter and Gus Olmos have represented North Central Florida twice at the International Blues Challenge. They are a roots-based Blues band that plays Delta and Chicago Blues (with energy) along with original material that stands easily alongside the standards.
