Double Header Show featuring Glenn Alexander and Shadowland plus James JB Barnes and the JB Blues Band
Glenn Alexander & Shadowland is guitar-driven, horn-laced, soulful, blues-drenched music. Fronted by Glenn Alexander, a virtuoso guitarist and vocalist who has toured the world with both his own music and for 16 years as the lead guitarist in Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes. In Shadowland, Glenn is joined by his Jukes brothers, the world-famous Asbury Jukes horns - John Isley, Chris Anderson and Neal Pawley - as well as a stellar rhythm section comprised of Greg Novick on bass and Gary Dates on drums. Rounding out the band is singer/flutist/songwriter Oria, whose soaring vocals takes the music of Shadowland to a whole 'nother level. Whether it's blues, soul or down and dirty rock, Shadowland delivers in spades.
James Barnes — known to audiences throughout the region as JB — carries the blues in his blood. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, and raised in New Jersey after his family moved east in 1965, he grew up steeped in the sound and spirit of the music. On his father’s side, JB traces his lineage back to Mississippi, the wellspring from which so much of this tradition flows. Those “Mississippi Roots” became more than just family history; they formed the bedrock of his artistic calling.
