Ask any dyed-in-the-wool blues fan who has followed the Gloucestershire scene for many years about Maxwell Street Blues Band and they will smile warmly at you and reminisce about the days of the Barge Semington blues club, or maybe the band's support of Chicago blues legend Eddie C. Campbell at the Gloucester Leisure Centre or their appearances at past Gloucester Blues Festivals. In fact, Maxwell Street Blues Band are a local legend in their own right.

They are the county's longest established blues band and after twenty years plus of performing at numerous festivals, clubs and pubs throughout the land they are certainly one of the best you're likely to come across. The warm comradeship between the band members is obvious and shows in their relaxed, effortless performance - they have a chemistry which only comes with a long friendship such as theirs.
