Great Brook Blues Band

About Me

The Great Brook Blues Band is based out of Chicago in spirit and Central Vermont in reality. Despite what our name might imply, we play many styles in addition to blues. Jazz, funk, and rock make their way into any Great Brook Blues set -- always with a dancable undercurrent. Consider them the side dishes that complement our meat and potatoes: the blues. We are a steadily gigging band and always looking to play, so if you'd like to book us contact Paul Markowitz at: (802)-229-6307 or (802)-279-8544 or [email protected] MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
