On any given night in the state of Wisconsin, the Blues are alive. Find a place where the music is hot smokin' blues and sit down to listen to The Boilerhouse Blues Band.
The five members comprise many years collectively, of musical experience. Mainly Blues is spoken here with a little Jazz tossed in for a great mix. "Anything" might be happening at any time. Holding to a traditional blues groove or to their own unique style makes for a night of excitement!!

Only formed in the fall of 1996, The Boilerhouse Blues Band has a strong following. Easy to imagine with the sax player dancing on customer's tables while blowing some of the hottest chops ever to come out of a tenor or soprano saxophone.
The drums are solid and precise. The true foundation has to be to keep the feet tapping and the heart open. Magic is said to be formed with dynamics. You'll find that here.
The bass is true. Driving bass riffs that really can be felt in the chest. Many years of bracing the foundation are apparent in this true bass line.
The guitar work is a perfect meld. Blues stringers have been influenced by many styles over the years. Many influences from Duane Allmand and others come through but this one is breaking some new ground on his own. True "feelings" are emoted here!!
The vocals have an influence of classical, 40's, and rock. With a large range and much power, this makes for an unbelievable mix for the whole band.

The show is also something to behold. With the sax man and the vocalist being wireless, the stage extends into the crowd with members of the crowd brought up on stage at different times of the show.

Rod Keyzer....Tenor and Soprano Saxophone

Dade Grode...Vocals

Chris O Keefe...Guitar

Rick Clark...Bass

Stu McDoniel...Drums
