The Chris Avey Band featuring Ricardo Burris & The Terry Quiett Band Host An Evening of the Blues

November 22 @ 7:00 pm - November 23 @ 12:00 am

Join us Friday November 22 for a Blues Double Header, with 2 incredible Bands in one great evening! Special Guest artist, Ricardo Burris, will be sitting in with The Chris Avey Band. The Tery Quiett Band, all the way from Winfield Kansas, will kick off the evening at 7 PM with a 2 hour non stop show. There will be a brief 30 min set change over, then The Chris Avey Band will perform 9:30 – 11:30. Both Bands will wrap up the evening with an epic jam 11:30-12. Be sure to share this with all your friends and make plans to come out for Dinner & a Show at The Gypsy Highway. $10 Cover at the door gets ya in for both bands.

The Chris Avey Band needs no introduction here in The Quad Cities. They perform a Mix of Blues, Rock, Funk, and Soul, Chris has a solid range of musical talent, playing lead guitar for 35 years all around the country (ok, and Canada, too).

In just a few years the Terry Quiett Band has become a mainstay across America’s Heartland. From 6th Street in Austin…to the windy city of Chicago…through the mountains of Colorado…across the deserts of Arizona…jamming down on Beale Street in Memphis…wherever they go the TQB has won over young and old with their energetic and soulful sound.

Along the way they have forged relationships with Grammy-winning studio masters Jim Gaines and Blaise Barton, who have worked with legends of the blues industry such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, Steve Miller Band, George Thorogood, Luther Allison, Albert Collins, Pinetop Perkins, Willie Smith, Michael Burks and many more.

Jim, Blaise and Terry first teamed up on the 2011 release Just My Luck (on Lucky Bag Records) exposing the Terry Quiett Band to a national audience for the first time. By the end of 2011 it was listed as #74 on the top 100 played CD’s on the Roots Music Report Blues Chart for the year. They joined forces again in 2012 to record the live CD A Night at the Orpheum which received fantastic reviews from the blues world.

In 2014 found Terry and Blaise once again collaborating with Blaise mixing the studio album Taking Sides which was released March 25, 2014. Taking Sides features 12 original songs (plus a bonus track of the classic Let’s Get It On) and is split into two distinct sides. Side one showcases the rootsy slidework for which Terry is fast becoming known – while side two finds the band tapping into a bluesy, contemporary twist on vintage Soul and R&B. Two perspectives from one of the most promising artists on the blues scene.

The band has spent the last several years on hiatus, but are jumping back into the scene with a brand-new EP of original music entitled Truth & Intent to be released on May 16, 2020 at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Wichita, KS. This album finds Terry reuniting with the original power trio from Cut the Rope and Just My Luck, featuring his long-time drummer Rodney “Shotgun” Baker and bassist Rev. Aaron Underwood. Truth & Intent contains a batch of energetic and groovy tunes TQB fans will find a fresh extension of the soulful blues rock they love.

Watch for select shows across the Midwest in support of the new album Truth & Intent.
