Early in his life, A.J. Croce lost his vision as the result of a brain tumor, but between the ages of four and ten partial sight gradually returned to his left eye. During this time period he began to play piano, inspired by the music of blind artists Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. He started playing professionally at the age of 12 and by age 16 he was a regular at several San Diego nightclubs. He toured with B.B. King at age 18 and released his first solo album the following year. A.J. now has seven albums to his name and has toured with artists as legendary as his father including Carlos Santana, Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, James Brown and Ray Charles. A great talent in his own right, the younger Croce carries on his father's legacy while paving new musical roads of his own. Learn More

I had a wonderful time. The Harlem Blues Project was excellent, and I loved that each performer also sang. It lended a different vibe to the set as each song had a different twist.Written on Jan 07 2009

Fantastic show. The performers moved seemlessly from song to song and were very engaging. I've been subconciously following Jerry Duggan for over a decade and I am never disappointed at any of his shows.Written on Dec 14 2011

Surprisingly, this was my first time at B.B.King's Blues Club. It was marvelous!Written on Jan 07 2009
The Harlem Blues Project is simply sensational! I am excited to find out what they will be doing next so that I may attend. I only wished I could get up and dance even if I still enjoyed the cabaret-style seating.
I was also very impressed by their opening act: The Alexis P. Suter Band. I would definitely pay to see them again! (Check out their website)
The Harlem Blues Project needs a homepage so I can follow them. Just throwing that out there fellas!

I was slightly confused since I didn't know that there was an opening act, Ollie Brown, which is pop rock band and although they're good, I was still confused. However, about 45 minutes later The Harlem Blues Project came on and the real show started. They were entertaining and put on a great show. Overall, I would recommend this show if you can get a good deal, price wise.Written on Aug 03 2011

Description
The Harlem Blues Project:
Jerry Dugger (Bass/Vocals)
Junior Mack (Guitar/Vocals)
Saron Crenshaw (Guitar/Vocals)
Barry Harrison (Drums/Vocals)
Saron Crenshaw's love is the blues and he has been inspired by some of the greatest singers and players of all time -- B.B. King, Albert King, Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Buddy Guy, to name a few. Saron plays a Gibson “Lucille” model guitar signed by B.B. King himself. He is a powerful entertainer and is never afraid to take his performance straight into the audience.
Jerry Dugger, the bassist, is a Harlem native. He is a 27-year veteran of the New York City blues scene. Jerry is famous for making his audience part of his act; foot stomping and audience participation are a regular part of his performance as he wants them to have the best blues experience possible. Jerry has worked with The Holmes Brothers, James Cotton, Eddie Kirkland, Little Milton and Hubert Sumlin.
Barry Harrison, the drummer, spent five and a half years with the legendary Johnny Copeland, and after his passing went on to spend six years working with his daughter, Shemekia Copeland. Barry has also worked with Sonny Rhodes, Eddie Kirkland, Phil Guy and Lonnie Shields.
Junior Mack, guitarist/singer, is a New Jersey native. Self-taught, he has been playing guitar since the age of nine. Influenced by Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Jan Akkerman and Wes Montgomery, he deftly displays these influences, although the foundation of his playing lies in the soulfulness of gospel and blues. Vocally, his influences are all gospel: The Soul Stirrers, with Sam Cooke and Paul Foster, The Sensational Nightingales, with Reverend Julius Cheeks; later on, he discovered Greg Allman. An opportunity to play for the late Pops Staples and the encouraging reaction from both Pops and Mavis Staples was the first in a chain of events that drove Junior to present his interpretation of the blues to a wider audience. Junior has sat in or worked with The Allman Brothers Band, Derek Trucks, Robert Randolph, Dickey Betts and Honeyboy Edwards. Junior has also recorded an excellent CD, Live Adventures.
