Robbin Kapsalis carries Chicago’s soul in her commanding voice, blending traditional blues grit with contemporary spirit. Born on the Southside, amid the city’s legendary blues scene and later shaped by Atlanta’s musical heritage, she delivers performances with the passionate power of Sharon Jones and the raw intensity of Koko Taylor while crafting her own distinctive sound.​

With a successful album release under her belt, Robbin shows why she’s not just preserving the blues tradition - she’s helping shape its future. She’ll be performing with her full UK band, comprising some of the best blues players on the scene.

The Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience comes to town next Friday night for their Bear Club debut. The band are a powerhouse five-piece delivering soulful and contemporary blues infused with rock, funk, and deep groove.

Pat delivers soaring, emotionally charged blues inspired by Ray Charles, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix - sometimes raw and electrifying, sometimes deeply heart-wrenching, but always compelling.

"Sounds brilliant doesn't it?"
— Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 6 Music

You may have caught Henry Grace supporting Dylan LeBlanc here back in February. Now, we’re thrilled to welcome him back with his own band for this show.

Henry plays fine guitar-led rock with a definite Americana leaning, having lived in California for five years. He’s back on home soil and kicking up a storm, with his latest album ‘Things Are Moving All Around Me’ receiving excellent reviews.

Support is from singer-songwriter Ed Blunt.
