Blue Coast Band brings a harmonica-led vibe to Chicago blues, blending traditional blues foundations with contemporary roots influences. Penned by players rooted in the Windy City blues scene, the band presents a sound that’s both classic and fresh. The project centers around long-standing Chicago blues harpist Ron Sorin, whose career intersects with legends like Bo Diddley, John Littlejohn, and Hubert Sumlin. Their 2011 release Lake City showcases a solid collection of blues that reflect the city’s rich musical heritage.
