Welcome to the home of the Cincinnati's Blumanchu!

History

Blumanchu  was formed in 2006 to bring the sound of Chicago-style blues to the Cincinnati blues scene. The band formed initially with Scott Casuto ,  Anthony Sager  and  Kevin Munson hooking up through Cincinnati's own CityBeat publication.  We were then able to expand our original sound with the addition of  Tom Lee on bass and  Natalie Gregory on lead vocals.

Style

One of our primary goals is to bring authentic and interesting music to the ears of our audiences. We strive to deliver a musical experience that keeps our listeners coming back for more. We delve out of the mainstream blues genre into the realm of less well-known tunes (though we still cover the basics with some slammin' arrangements of well-known favorites). Most of the music we play is very danceable; we guarantee you'll find yourself struggling to stay in your seat!

Influences

We tap into music performed by a wide variety of blues artists both current and past. You may hear us playing your favorites by Susan Tedeschi, Smokin Joe Kubek, Coco Montoya, David Rutundo, Eric Clapton and Roomful of Blues. Each song we add to our repertoire brings together a tasteful combination of choice guitar licks, blues harp (that's harmonica for the newbies out there) and soulful vocals. Come out and see us sometime; we'll take you on a journey through the history of the blues!
