TBone Hamilton and the Blues All Stars

“This project has been a labor of love for TBone and the line up of All Stars will not disappoint.”

TBone Hamilton and the Blues All Stars

 

TBone Hamilton and the Blues All-Stars are comprised of some of the best blues musicians.  Bassist/Leader – Tom “TBone” Hamilton (TBone Hamilton Band, The Swinging Johnsons, Rock Bottom & the Cutaways) returns to the Firehouse Cultural Center with his Blues All Stars.

This music project was started in 2013. TBone stated at that time:
“I have been in the music business for the past 25 years. Over this time span, I have met numerous great musicians, many of whom I call friends. As time was going by, I came to the realization that some of them were passing away, and I strongly felt that I had to capture the sound of these “local” cats while they were still here and “blowing” as good as ever. This was the genesis for the Blues All Stars.”

TBone Hamilton has released three blues singles on I-Tunes dedicated to one of his bass playing heroes – Mr. Willie Dixon.  In addition, TBone was been featured, with many over of the top blues acts in Florida, on the cover of a national blues magazine discussing his contributions to the American art form of Blues on the West Coast of Florida.  He maintains an active performance schedule leading his 8 piece Big Easy Revue Band, as well as straight ahead Jazz concerts.
