Bees Deluxe, Boston’s notorious acid blues band returns to their favorite Brooklyn music venue, Freddy’s. Hot on the heels of their latest album “Mouthful of Bees” the band is fueling the truck with pizza and gasoline and heading south from their hometown Boston.

“You can’t beat Freddy’s for that downtown funk and roll feeling” says Paul Giovine, the band’s drummer & percussionist. “Everytime we set out on the road we yell at our managers ‘when are we playing Freddy’s again?’ “

If you’ve never heard Bees Deluxe – the band reworks hidden classics from the repertoires of their analog musical heroes from Etta James and J.B. Lenoir to Joe Zawinul and ZZ Top, and they bring their own twisted visions of jazz and blues to life in interesting and danceable forms that’s different every time.

Bees Deluxe “What might happen if Freddie King took a lot of acid then wrote a song with Pat Metheny and asked a strung-out Stevie Ray Vaughan to take a solo” — Blues Blast Magazine

Bees Deluxe is a blues-rooted, jazz-inspired, funk-infused band from Boston. Hellbent on a mission to drag the music of Chicago in the 60’s and the Blue Note catalog kicking and screaming into the 21st century. They’ve won over audiences from Maine to the Mississippi with their arresting and highly danceable originals and their innovative interpretation of less-travelled tunes by artists like Etta James, Joe Zawinul, J.B. Lenoir, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Albert Collins and the three Kings.
