The Blues Project - The Blues Project - Live 2025 (2025) [Official Digital Download]

The original Blues Project was the stuff of legends. Featuring an eclectic mix of New York City players drawn together by a desire to do something that brought together their diverse interests, the band created a well-regarded body of work, made their mark on pop culture and seemingly faded away. But the story never really ended. Led by founding member Roy Blumenfeld, the Blues Project comes to Club Fox on Aug. 27.

In 1965, Danny Kalb and Blumenfeld had been studying guitar with Dave Van Ronk, the celebrated “mayor of McDougal Street” in Greenwich Village. Kalb had founded a group that included bassist Andy Kulberg and Blumenfeld on drums. In short order, that group evolved into the Blues Project, featuring those three plus guitarist Steve Katz and vocalist Tommy Flanders. Producer Tom Wilson introduced the band to keyboardist Al Kooper, newly famous thanks to his organ work on Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone.” Kooper soon joined the group, and the Blues Project signed to Verve/Folkways.

Dubbed “the Jewish Beatles” by a local music critic, the band drew in part from the sum of its influences. Blumenfeld says that Kooper’s interest were pop and soul; Kulberg liked fingerpick-style guitar and blues. “Steve was into folk music and ballads,” Blumenfeld says. Kalb was a serious Muddy Waters fan. For his part, Blumenfeld was influenced both by African rhythms and Booker T & the MG’s. “And Tommy Flanders fashioned himself as a Mick Jagger kind of lead singer,” he says. “And he pulled it off.”
