Stevie and the Blue Flames

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.

We are proud winners of numerous awards from the Washington Blues Society, including “Best Harmonica”, “Best Band” and most recently we received the “Hall of Fame” award.
