What does it take to be a REAL bluesman? Is it the countless hours of immersion in the music of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and B.B. King? The days, weeks and months spent mastering an instrument? Is it the years of paying dues at a thousand smoky bars and roadhouses? A lifetime spent staying true to The Blues?
If so, then Ron Campbell & the bLUES bUSTERS are the real deal. Whether it's classic blues or one of our award-winning originals, every song in the bLUES bUSTERS show is fresh, authentic and heartfelt. We're proud to be a small-town band where we can continue to play The REAL Blues.
“I watched the bLUES bUSTERS set at the Texada Island Blues & Roots Festival and thought to myself that it was the best set I have ever seen from them. They were so tight and put on an incredible performance. We loved having them there.”
Gerald Childress, Artistic Director, Texada Island Blues & Roots Festival - Facebook
