Hello Acoustic Clubbers

Tonight we have the pleasure of welcoming the incredible Chicago Nola to perform a concert showcase for us.

 

 

Chicago Nola are a 4-piece Essex/Herts based blues band.

Revisiting some of the most influential music of an era of Blues, Soul and R&B, Chicago Nola perform a heady brew of strong classic blues and soul influenced themes.

Celebrating some of the most influential music of an era of Blues, Soul and R&B, Chicago Nola perform a heady brew of strong classic blues and soul influenced themes that tracks the migration of blues from New Orleans/Louisiana (NOLA) to Chicago & beyond…

The band aim to present an honest approach to the music and in true blues tradition, believe it is “all about the song”, live, clear and simple.

Chicago Nola features the incredible vocal talents of Michelle Eley, supported by the experienced trio of Bill Jenks (guitar), Dietmar Schantin (bass) and Sean McGran (drums).

Chicago Nola are all about the live performance and a real interaction, so don’t miss the opportunity to catch them live......NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
