On October 4th, 2008 the Blue In The Face Reunion was performed to a capacity audience at the Acoustic Cafe in Black Rock, CT- marking the 20 year anniversary of the band's formation. After this show there was no doubt in anyone's mind that Blue In The Face was, and still is the premier Blues, R&B group in the Northeastern United States.
Special Thanks to Bill Nolan at WPKN 89.5 - the Acoustic Cafe, Christine Morgan, Jess and Larissa, Phil, Darien,(sound)-Louis J. Seidler Photography (black & white photos), Gene Minasi, Ray Corey, and Dale Eldridge for the color photos, also to Dave Schwartz (WPKN) for recording and filming. Special thanks to all that attended and to all that could not get in as well.
