Since 1980, Sonny Charles and his Chicago-blues-loving brethren Backtrack Blues Band have graced the local scene, while also appearing onstage alongside the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan and B.B. King.
Charles and friends’ new A Day By the Bay album—their first since 2020—was recorded live at last year’s Tampa Bay Blues Festival (which Charles founded back in 1995), and excluding a Jimmy Reed cover, it’s entirely composed of band originals.
Tickets to the Backtrack Blues Band album release party inside the Side Door Cabaret at Palladium Theater in St. Petersburg on Friday, July 21 start at $20.
