PRIZES FOR BEST COSTUMES! BYOB & BYOF (food) This Halloween Night you won't want to be anywhere else! The James Montgomery Band roars into Sandywoods for a special Halloween blues bash. Don't forget your costumes! Peter Wolf calls James Montgomery "The John Mayall of New England" - and for good reason. When blues legend JamesMontgomery plays the harmonica, he "brings it on home." He is a blues masters of the first and highest degree. Growing up in Detroit, James learned first-hand from the masters - James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, Junior Wells. Over the years, he has carried on the tradition and continues to be a vital presence and one of the most dynamic performers on the blues scene. In 1970, while attending Boston University, James formed The James Montgomery Band. His inimitable harmonica playing combined with his incredibly energetic live shows led to the band's quick ascension on the New England music scene. Within two years, the James Montgomery Band was among the hottest acts in Boston, along with The J. Geils Band and Aerosmith, and they were quickly signed to a multi-album deal with Capricorn Records. Since that time, James has recorded six albums. He has toured with many major artists, including Johnny Winter, Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, The Allman Brothers, Steve Miller, and many more.
