Legendary guitarist/vocalist Guitar Shorty is a giant in the blues world, and he’s headed to Daytona Beach!!

Popa Chubby, born Ted Horowitz, has been hard rocking the blues in his fierce and soulful way for more than 25 years. Over the course of a career that dates back to 1994, he has been a force of to be reckoned with on the guitar, and his tempestuous, soulful playing has never been more powerful. An imposing figure with a shaven head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performance style he describes as “the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson,” Popa Chubby is an endearing character who is one of the genre’s most popular figures.

Daytona, are you ready?? Ghost Town Blues Band is coming!!
Horns, harmonies and homegrown instruments combined with an energetic and roots rich set makes Ghost Town Blues Band one of the “must see live bands on the festival circuit today.” Both Preston McEwen behind the drums and Matt Karner on the bass guitar are a punishing rhythm section behind multi-instrumentalist/frontman Matt Isbell with raunchy cigar box guitar licks and raspy “Dr. John-like, whiskey and gravel-soaked vocals.” With the addition of Trombonist Suavo Jones, Tim Stanek on B3 and Taylor Orr on lead guitar, the grooves go from funky to “funk-nasty” as the band gains more notoriety in the blues festival and jam circuit.
This one is gonna be a blast!
Doors open at 8:00, show starts at 9:00

Igor and The Red Elvises return to The Bank on March 30th!
The Red Elvises began in 1995 after founder Igor Yuzov dreamed that Elvis Presley came to him and told him to start playing rock’n’roll. Not one to say no to the King, Igor and his Russian friends started playing on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. Their street musician days did not last long, however, as they drew such huge crowds that the City of Santa Monica brought them to court and ordered them off the streets. Since then Red Elvises have been constantly touring, with occasional breaks from the road to record an album or take part in film and television projects. This constant work for the last 15 years has led to them gaining a world-wide following, with successful tours all over North America, Europe and Russia.
Igor & Red Elvises have declined several major record deals, prefering to maintain independent status and produce all their own work. This includes 11 studio albums, one live album, a live concert DVD and a Greatest Hits compilation. Added to their long resume is work in film and television. They can be found playing everything from large festivals to private parties, small venues to massive stages such as 2005’s Live 8 Benefit Concert. Whatever the event, wherever Igor & Red Elvises go, they bring the party with them.
Doors 8:00, Show starts at 9:00
This show is SOLD OUT. Watch for The Red Elvises to return in November!

Orlando-born Selwyn Birchwood whips up his blues not only on guitar but also on his lap steel. As a 19-year-old, Birchwood toured in the band of Texas-bred bluesman Sonny Rhodes, who urged his protégé not only to continue pursuing the blues but also to get a college degree. And so Birchwood did, earning an MBA from the University of Tampa.
Birchwood released his debut album, “FL Boy,” in 2011, then he and his band placed ninth at the 2012 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. The next year, Birchwood won the 2013 International Blues Challenge and also the Albert King Guitarist of the Year Award. That led to his signing by the prestigious blues label Alligator Records, which released Birchwood’s “Don’t Call No Ambulance” in 2014.
Birchwood’s latest album, “Pick Your Poison,” was released by Alligator in May and includes such songs as “My Whiskey Loves My Ex,” “R We Krazy?,” “”Corporate Drone,” “Police State,” and “Even the Saved Need Saving” – all with the bluesman’s gravelly voice making him sound seasoned far beyond his 32 years.
“I write and sing what I know,” Birchwood says. “Sonny always said, ‘Play what’s in your heart.’ I’ve never lost sight of that.”
Doors open at 8:00, show starts at 9:00.
