“WHERE THE BLUES GETS WEIRD.”

Some people would preserve Blues as a museum piece: happy to keep trotting out the same guitar licks, the same tired cliches. Ralph Beeby is on a mission to do the opposite: to experiment, to force fresh air into the lungs of the genre, and push the limits of what “Blues” can be. In this case, a twisted sideshow in a Depression-era carnival – on its last legs but still with a great story to tell. If you’re looking for a quick reference, putting Kurt Weil, Tom Waits and Nick Cave in a Robert Johnson/Skip James blender might scratch the surface.

Feeling brave? Come march with Ralph Beeby & the Elephant Collective to the darkest, strangest corners of the Blues.
