The Joe Marcinek Band has announced new dates with an exciting cast of musicians! While guitarist Joe Marcinek serves as the continuous centerpiece of the band, each show on his national tours typically feature a different lineup of musicians to create a different set of music every night. The music is equal parts Chicago Blues, New Orleans Funk, Grateful Dead Psychedelia, and Jazz Fusion. To close 2017, Marcinek has invited George Porter Jr. (The Meters), Alan Evans (Soulive), Wil Blades, Scott Guberman (Phil Lesh & Friends), and Tony Hall (Dumpstaphunk) to join him in different formations throughout the rest of the year.

The Joe Marcinek Band will hit the House Of Blues in Chicago for a Yonder Mountain String Band after-party, the Crazy Horse Saloon in Nevada City, Boom Boom Boom in San Francisco, Crystal Bay Casino in Crystal Bay, The Vogue in Indianapolis, Country Club BBQ in Peoria, and Martyrs in Chicago. Head to the band’s website for more show information.
