The Cobalt Rhythm Kings are one of Connecticut’s longest-running blues bands and have been one of its leading bands for more than two decades. They are steeped in the jazzy jump blues of Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner and Wynonie Harris; the cool, raging West Coast blues of William Clark, Rod Piazza and James Harman, and the hard-edged Chicago blues of Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Junior Wells, Freddie King and Otis Rush, to name a few.
