BC and
The Blues Crew

When's the last time you saw this group? Even if it was just months ago, you are in for an amazingly profound transformation in attitude. Bev "BC" Conklin has accepted her calling and she's using it! "BC" will move every emotion you own with her command of the lyrics, much of which is empowered by music that is masterfully arranged and often written by Wayne Smith, the band's seriously talented, creative, sixties era loyalist, and multi-proficient musician. Mike Brandt is the jazz-blues stylist in the group laying down guitar riffs so smooth or deep it compliments the group's overall sound. Tempered by the stunningly talented Mitch Shelly on bass, his extreme and decisive energy and experience will seize you with sheer amazement.

Joining us this past year, Craig "C.J." Coyle will swoon you with his soulful vocals and move you with his seemingly effortless expertise on the drums. Dave Smith, the most recent addition of the Crew on Sax and Guitar, provides a sharp edge with his ultimate package-deal of sound and more. This band has an attractive combination of Blues, R&B, Soul, Zydeco, Jazz, Funk, and Rock.

Having shared the stage with Ray Charles, Koko Taylor, Son Seals, Shemekia Copleland, E. C. Scott, Sista Monica, Sandra Hall, Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials, The Holmes Brothers, Eddie King, Carl Weathersby, Kenny Neal, Lonnie Brooks, Ronnie Brooks, Eddie Kirkland, Saffire, Little Charlie & The Nightcats, and so many more there is no denying why this group continues to rise to the occasion every time they hit the stage. The Blues Crew has a powerful chemistry that makes up their signature style. Don't wait too long before you experience all that is BC and the Blues Crew!
