ALL NIGHT BOOGIE BAND

All Night Boogie Band is a blues, rock & roll, and soul-inspired band hailing from the Green Mountains of Burlington, Vermont. Formed in late 2021, the young yet experienced quintet expresses a unique sound full of originality, vigor, and dedication to the resonance of great American music.

All Night Boogie Band won “Vermont Rising Stars” in the 2023 New England Music Awards and were nominated for “Best Blues Artist” in the 2023 Seven Daysies Awards. They were featured as a Relix Magazine “Artist on the Rise” in their July 2022 Edition, won Vermont’s 2023 Blues Challenge, and were Semifinalists at the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee in January 2023.

“...a blues album that you can boogie to, one filled with the upbeat zest of big-band jazz and the hopeful lyricism of gospel and soul music...this is a band you’re going to want to hear live”

— Seven Days (VT)

Seven Days (VT’s Weekly) described their 2022 debut single “A Woman Like I” as “A six-minute-plus blast of blues and soul, the track reveals a shocking amount of authenticity for such a young band. Massive, soulful vocals; big horns; and a powerfully tight rhythm section combine to create a huge blues sound.”

Their 2022 debut album “Taste These Blues” was also reviewed by Seven Days: “The young Burlington band has put out a record brimming with love for the blues, as well as hints of jazz and soul music. Taste These Blues, the band's debut, showcases guitarist Brendan Casey's strong and studious songwriting and lead singer Jessica Leone's powerful, soulful vocals. Over eight tracks, the band showcases impressive instrumental prowess but also hints at a strong live show. It's a compelling debut, full of character and promise.”

Their 2nd LP titled “Angel of the Airwaves”, was released on August 3rd, 2023. Seven Days says, “With their second LP, Angel of the Airwaves, All Night Boogie Band have lived up to the promise of their debut. The group has delivered a versatile record that remains steeped in its blues roots while pursuing new stylistic frontiers with which Taste These Blues merely flirted.”

“rippling keys, honeyed electric guitar, a dreamy horn section, and of course, signature, soul-baring vocals”
