Award Winning Blues Band to Perform Live in Bradenton, Florida on December 2

Award-winning San Francisco Bay-area blues band Rick Estrin & The Nightcats, two-time winners of the prestigious Blues Music Award for Band Of The Year, will headline the Bradenton Blues Festival in Bradenton on Saturday, December 2, 2023. Their latest Alligator Records release is 2019’s Contemporary . The limitless combined talents of blues harmonica virtuoso and sly, soulful singer Estrin, guitar mastermind Kid Andersen, keyboard wizard Lorenzo Farrell and endlessly creative drummer Derrick “D’Mar” Martin take Estrin’s inventive, original songs to new and unexpected places. With these musically fearless players kicking everything up a notch, Contemporary explores some different sounds, instrumentation, and grooves from their previous releases, as they continue to reinvent traditional blues styles.
