Summer Concert Series - Left Eye Jump Band

The Left Eye Jump Band  serves up blues music with the authentic sounds of Chicago, Texas, New Orleans, California, and the Delta of the 1940s, 50s, and 60’. From gritty and haunting Delta slide guitar journeys to T-Bone Walker inspired jump-swing romps, this band delivers on the promise that the Blues speak to the very core of all people, and are at the root of all modern music.

The band's mission is to grab a crowd with the high impact energy of a West Side Chicago Stomp, cool them down with a soul searching slow Blues ballad, and then get everybody in motion with a Texas style funk or a New Orleans rumba boogie!

This band was assembled in 1997 from a group of musicians whose backgrounds in music were deeply rooted in the blues. This has streamlined both the goals and the indelible sound of Left Eye Jump. The continuity of the bands authentic blues quality has depended on their ability to attract high caliber players who bring great diversity and an enduring commitment to the “deep” blues.

The band consists of Dennis Willmott (vocals and guitar), Joseph Moore    (saxophone and vocals), Dan Whalen (vocals and guitar), Jeff Salisbury      (vocals and drums), and Kenny B. (bass).
