Kilborn Alley Blues Band

MVBS.org has partnered with the Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix to present the Kilborn Alley Blues Band – a powerhouse of Chicago blues and southern soul, known for their gritty, authentic sound that resonates with blues lovers of all generations. Formed in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, this group has earned a reputation for their electrifying live performances and seamless ensemble playing. Fronted by the soulful vocals of Andrew Duncanson, the band blends classic Chicago blues with elements of R&B, creating a sound that’s both vintage and refreshingly current. Over the years, they’ve released several critically acclaimed albums, including Better Off Now, which solidified their status among the elite in the blues scene. With a deep respect for tradition and a passion for innovation, Kilborn Alley Blues Band continues to captivate audiences and leave a lasting mark on the blues genre.

This is our last event for summer season so don’t miss the Kilborn Alley Blues Band playing outdoors at Schwiebert Park in Rock Island on Aug. 31 from 7pm-10pm. Don’t forget your lawn chairs! This is a free event and donations are appreciated as MVBS.org prepares for our 40th anniversary concert in 2025.
