JR. De Ville Band Live in SF

Friday, March 21st

Junior De Ville’s musical journey began at age 3, entertaining family with his toy guitar. Raised in a musical family, he learned from his grandfather, a solo guitarist, and by 15, began sitting in at jam sessions. At 18, he trained classically, but a summer road trip in 1995 changed his path when he discovered Jimi Hendrix. Fascinated by Hendrix's style, he delved into the world of blues, exploring legends like B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

In 1997, Junior met Joe Louis Walker at a blues festival and had the chance to sit in with him, sparking a lasting friendship and mentorship. Around the same time, he formed his first band, "The Electric Church," with drummer Nick Woodson. In 2003, they released their debut album, Just a Blues Cat, which was featured on The House of Blues radio show. Since then, Junior has shared stages with blues greats like Joe Louis Walker, Daniel Castro, and Chris Cain, while continuing to captivate audiences at festivals and on radio shows like the House of Blues Hour.

Currently in the studio working on a new album, Junior De Ville’s demand as a true bluesman is growing stronger. Whether performing solo or with his full band, his fierce presence and sound, drawing from influences like Jimi Hendrix and Freddie King, continue to make waves across the blues scene.
