From sultry R&B to gritty Texas or Chicago Style Blues. From 60's and 70's classic rock to gospel. From swingin' jazz to New Orleans funk. All with a soulful, bluesy vibe guaranteed to get a hall movin' and groovin' to the deep, fat grooves of Blues Unchained. When it comes to a House Rockin' brand of soulful music, Blues Unchained is a group of well-seasoned professionals with great chemistry that can do it all.

 This is a band that has that rare ability to change musical styles seamlessly and effortlessly, and can take the music to new heights while preserving the feel and soul of that great, great American artform, the Blues. With an ever growing playlist of over 200 songs, Blues Unchained can reach and entertain a very wide audience, mixing select covers with their own original tunes.

Blues Unchained can be found pumping out House Rockin' Music from Coast to Coast and throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The group performed at the University of Maryland's 2005 Homecoming Football game, where they unveiled their original song ,"Mr. DQ Jackson", written for Terps All American football player, D'Qwell Jackson. In addition to performing at school functions, the band is also the Official Houseband of the Terrapin Times Magazine/Website where they perform annually at the huge Terrapin Times Magazine's Spring Tailgate Party on the campus of the University of Maryland as well as being on the bill with their world famous friends, The Nighthawks, at the East Coast Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which drew over 9,000 motorcycle enthusiasts this past summer.

Blues Unchained has had Top 10 songs on internet music charts where many artists post their music, including SoundClick.com and MP3Songs.UK.Org, where Blues Unchained reached number 1 on both independent music websites for their original song, "Fishin' On The Chesapeake Bay". The lyrics were written by singer/songwriter Eddie Crowe and the music and arrangements done by lead guitarist and bandleader Bobby 'Blue' Perry. The group also reached top ten status with 3 other tunes, including a rousing rendition of The Nighthawks classic, "Too Tall To Mambo". "We wanted to pay homage to one of our favorite bands that has been doing it a long time now, just with our own twist to the song", Perry said between his and Crowe's laughter. "Ironically, I've never had the pleasure of hearing The Nighthawks original version of Too Tall. When I told that to Mark Wenner he just laughed with me".

The band looks forward to an upcoming, soon to be released studio effort and more live performances in the area, and recently enjoyed a stint as the houseband on Baltimore's WMAR-TV Channel 2 for the Steve Rouse hosted 'Baltimore Saturday Nite' TV Show. The band will also be doing more touring abroad this summer as well hitting the club scene and private event circuit as well as looking ofrward to release of their album "Blues Unchained" in late 2007.
