Description

Join 5-time Grammy nominees Roomful of Blues for their Schooner Festival Dance-Cruise aboard Gloucester's stunning cruise ship, the Beauport Princess. Back in June this cruise sold out in record time. This is your last chance of the summer to get on board, cruise historic Gloucester Harbor during the Schooner Festival and party with these national recording stars! This is an all-ages concert-cruise, with a full bar aboard the cruise ship for guests over 21. Light snacks will be available for purchase. Even though Roomful of Blues' lineup has changed over the years, the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece ensemble led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. In 2010, singer Phil Pemberton took over the vocal duties, bringing his sweet and soulful vocals and adding another bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump-blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with new members, bassist John Turner, trumpeter Doug Woolverton, drummer Chris Rivelli, and keyboardist Rusty Scott, and longtime members baritone and tenor saxophonist Mark Earley, tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille, Roomful keeps on rockin' this summer!
