Welcome to the official MySpace page of Union Street Blues, bringing you the best of original contemporary blues and beyond. We deliver original music built on a powerful rhythm section, creative and accomplished instrumentation, and solid vocal performance. Our original songs speak to today's contemporary listeners and the types of situations in which we all find ourselves today. We also cover selected songs from other artists but we never select songs to be nostalgic. Rather, we select them because they are great songs that we deliver with the same power and energy as our original music.
Blues is our home base but we aren't shy about venturing into adjacent genres such as rock, funk, and jazz as long as it's great music and we enjoy playing it.
Check out Union Street Blues' debut CD, "By Any Means Necessary", available on CDBaby, iTunes, and many more online distributors.
Thanks for becoming our friend and doing your part to keep the blues alive! We've recently added two songs to the page, "Talkin 'bout Shaky Ground" and "One Foot" and we've added some shows for March.
If you have the time, come check out our myspace and let us know what you think.
