Band Story

The Hitman Blues Band: Turning Up the Heat Worldwide

The Hitman Blues Band is turning heads and earning fans across the globe. Their latest release, The World Moves On, is being hailed as their best yet—bold, gritty, and steeped in soul. Their previous album, Blues Enough, was in contention for two Grammy nominations, proving this band isn't just playing the blues—they're living it.

One of their standout tracks, Two Minute Warning (from Angel In The Shadows), even made its way into the gaming world as an add-on for RockBand, blending traditional blues fire with modern platforms.

With six successful tours across the UK and two more tearing through Europe, The Hitman Blues Band has played some of the most respected stages out there: the Great British R&B Festival in Colne, the legendary Eel Pie Club, The Limelight Theater, BluesExpress Festival in Luxembourg, and the Maryport Blues Festival Main Stage—just to name a few. Back home in the U.S., they've stormed up and down the East Coast, igniting clubs and festivals with either their classic four-piece lineup or their new expanded horn section that takes their sound to even greater heights.

What sets them apart? It's more than just chops and chemistry. Their live show hits hard—with killer musicianship, undeniable grooves, and a wicked sense of humor that draws the crowd in and keeps them there. When The Hitman Blues Band hits the stage, you're not just hearing music—you’re witnessing a blues revival in full throttle.
