Club Fox Blues Jam ON TOUR: THE BLUES PROJECT at Club Fox – Redwood City, CA

Roy Blumenfeld has put The Blues Project back together. Featuring David Aguilar on guitar and vocals, Mark Neuman on guitar and vocals, Ken Clark on keys, EWI, and vocals, and Tim Eschliman on bass and vocals.

Roy Blumenfeld had a ringside seat from his drum kit on some of the most exciting musical events in New York City during the mid-’60s. Born in the Bronx in 1944, he reached his teens as the first wave of American rock & roll was being created. He took up the drums and found himself drawn to blues, R&B, and jazz. Blumenfeld linked up with bassist Andy Kulberg through work with Al Kooper on the latter’s early solo recordings for the Elektra Records sampler What’s Shakin’. In 1965, he joined guitarist Danny Kalb in the latter’s new band, which, with the addition of Kooper to the lineup, became the Blues Project.

Blumenfeld was one of the longest-serving members of the renowned group, whose mixture of R&B, blues, jazz, folk, and rock & roll influences made them a major cult band of the ’60s, and a huge influence on generations of other musicians.
