Stevie and the Blue Flames has been a Seattle fixture since the 1980s, and has performed in local clubs, parties, and numerous festivals. They are known for their intensity, great songwriting, and world class musicianship. The material is blues, but the songs are either original or carefully selected covers of traditional music, avoiding the worn out "bar band" favorites. The tempos are up: swing, shuffles, and funk to keep the dancers happy.

Besides performing in the western US, the band has also traveled to Europe, Israel, and South America. They have recorded more than 10 full length CDs of their material, and continue to entertain at a high level with their positive, danceable music. Whether you are looking for a band for a small party or a major festival, they will work with you to make your event a success. This is not your average tavern blues band.

Personnel: Steve Bailey (harmonica, vocals); Steve Blood (guitar); Ray Hartman (bass); Dee Smith (vocals).

(Note: Also known as Steve Bailey & The Blue Flames.)

Thanks, Red Rooster for this one.
Even while you printed in bold: Steve Bailey, I had to search to find the other albums. I am to lazy, I'm afraid, to remember name changes.
Nice harmonica driven music.
