Blackjack Davey and the Rhythm Kings Blues Band from Indianapolis, IN

Hailing from west of Indianapolis, this 4-piece ensemble consists of "Blackjack Davey"-David Moore on guitar and vocals, supported by "The Rhythm Kings"- James "Jimmy" Hornaday on bass, Ron "Roxy" Brown on drums, and Edward "Eddie" Pithey on saxophone. Each member brings their own vast, unique musical background and perspective, but all share a strong common bond: love of the Blues. With the Blues being the basis of so many genres of music, the band is known for taking familiar tunes from other genres and then “twisting” those melodies and tempos to better represent the Blues. Watching them create something special, familiar but different, all while still honoring the hallowed tradition of the Blues-that is what makes attending a BLACKJACK DAVEY AND THE RHYTHM KINGS show an engaging and fun experience for the audience. The Blues Foundation, is world-renowned as THE organization dedicated to preserving blues music history and celebrating recording and performance. The band are two time semi-finalists in The International Blues Challenge which is the Blues Foundation's signature event that turns all of Beale Street into a five-day big blues venue for more than 230 blues acts competing from around the world, who have all won local and regional events to quality to compete in this prestigious event. Performing regularly at the legendary Slippery Noodle Inn in downtown Indianapolis, as well as other clubs, festivals, and other private/corporate engagements around the Midwest!
