…Funky Club. Yes, that means we didn’t win the DC Blues Society competition, but Funky Club is a great bunch of guys. They’re a 3 piece power trio out of Gaithersburg I believe. Chick Hall’s was jammin’ with a crowded house and a packed dance floor. Personally, I thought we had a great set, but it wasn’t to be. CPBlues had a blast participating and are looking forward to the next DC Blues event. Thanks to everyone that supported us!

Our CD is project is progressing nicely. We handed off our first batch of 4 songs to our sound engineer for the final mix-down. As soon as we get it back, we’ll have some samples here!
Also we have a unique gig just added. February 23rd we’ll be competing with a number of other hot DC Blues bands at Chick Hall’s (yes, I thought it was closed too) Surf Club. The winner of the competition will be given the opening slot at this year’s DC Blues festival. Check our gigs page for details as they come in.
