Jump and West Side Chicago Blues

The Stella-Vees Blues Band plays Chicago and West Coast style blues reflecting influences of legendary blues musicians like T-Bone Walker, Hollywood Fats, Magic Sam and Little Walter.  If you like straight ahead, no effects pedal type Blues, you have come to the right place.

The Stella-Vees finished first, winning the 2004 and the 2006 Kentuckiana Blues Society’s “Unsigned Blues Band Competition” in Louisville, KY. Competing bands in this highly respected event are judged on original blues material, showmanship, and blues talent. The Stella-Vees have played many major blues festivals since 2007 and continue to be a mainstay on the blues circuit..

The Stella-Vees Blues Band’s sixteen song CD, “Come Round Baby,” consisting of eight originals tunes, currently enjoys airplay coast to coast, and in far-flung global blues hotspots, including Poland and Australia.

  • i just watched your Jubilee show on KET here on our PBS station and I was very impressed with your drummer and harmonica players! I played drums and sang for ten years, got out of the racket for another ten years and took up the harmonica (music while traveling). I know what it takes to play both and really enjoyed hearing all of you! Keep up the great sound and (maybe you already know it) learn I Ain't Got Nothin' but the Blues, i.e. Ain't got the change for a nickel... You've got a new 70 year old fan!

  • Very fortunate to be in Louisville last November to catch a "Stella" performance ... these guys are musicians' musicians, each his own maestro, assembled to provide the listener with blues bliss.
