The Cash Box Kings
The Cash Box Kings are bona fide blues royalty. Co-led by real-deal Chicago Blues Hall of Fame vocalist and songwriter Oscar Wilson and songwriter, Chicago Blues Hall of Fame harmonica giant and singer Joe Nosek, the band plays masterfully raw and unvarnished houserocking blues. Wilson's huge, gritty vocals and Nosek's powerhouse harmonica fuel their razor-sharp original songs. With their top shelf musicianship and trademark good humor, The Cash Box Kings are a one-of-a-kind blues band. In the words of MOJO magazine, the band is "flawless." The Cash Box Kings feature Oscar's rafter-shaking SouthSide vocals, powerhouse harp, stinging guitar and a swinging rhythm section. Their albums have topped the Billboard Blues, Living Blues Radio, and Sirius XM's B.B. King's Bluesville radio charts and earned them 15 Blues Music Award (BMA) nominations (including Album of the Year, Best Traditional Album and Band of the Year). Critics in the U.S. and Europe consider the group to be one of the best traditional blues bands in America today and they won the Blues Band of the Year at the 2023 Blues Blast Music Awards. They are regular headliners at Chicago blues clubs like Buddy Guy’s Legends, Fitzgerald's, SPACE, and Rosa's Lounge and have played festivals worldwide like the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Chicago Blues Festival, the Cambridge Folk Festival (UK), Moulin Blues (Netherlands) Hondarribia (Spain), Doheny Blues Festival, the Tampa Bay Blues Festival, and the Lucerne Blues Festival (Switzerland) just to name a few. Mixing tough Chicago and Delta blues, jumping proto-rock 'n' roll, and steamrolling "bluesabilly" (their original mix of Chicago blues and Memphis rockabilly), they attack every song they play with contemporary authority and old school authenticity. The musicians feed off of each other's ideas and energy, effortlessly moving from a lowdown purr to a full throttle roar. According to No Depression, "The Cash Box Kings are a royal hive of raucous houserockers. Whether resurrecting the past or living in the moment, they satisfy your craving for hardcore Chicago blues, served up hot and tasty.
