Before the Grammy nominations and Blues Music Awar Before the Grammy nominations and Blues Music Awards piled up, @victorwainwright was already turning heads on LRBC stages. Piano players aren’t supposed to bring this much firepower, but Victor has never really followed the rules (you should've seen his cooking demonstration on #44).�#VictorWainwright #BluesPiano #RootsMusic #BluesMusic #BluesCruise
Glasses up! The Sailaway Toast means RELAX, the re Glasses up! The Sailaway Toast means RELAX, the real world gets left at the dock. Every repeat offender (artists and cruisers alike) knows what comes next: a week of beautifully unhinged blues music; once-in-a-lifetime performances and collaborations that may never happen again. Let the magic begin. #BluesCruise #BluesFamily #LiveBlues #JamSession #CruiseLife

Ed Early didn’t need a spotlight to command a stag Ed Early didn’t need a spotlight to command a stage. A founding member of The Juke Jumpers and longtime torchbearer of traditional New Orleans trombone, he brought decades of brass, blues, and street-parade soul wherever he played.
