"This guy's a real blues player." - Huey Lewis of The News
“He was a major influence on shaping the Washington blues scene back then & he's still playing the real 100%, low down & dirty blues to this day." - Bobby Radcliff
“Now Bret's back. I guess I better tighten up." - Mark Wenner of The Nighthawks
Big Boy Little "Blues for Grownups"
The enigmatic, quixotic, mysterious, always entertaining – Big Boy Little
The deep, deep blues. The kind of blues you used to hear on a distant radio station broadcasting from somewhere down south, late at night. The kind of blues where you wake up early in the morning and all you can think of is your lover and you wonder where they've gone. The kind of blues that makes you want to go somewhere and dance or shout or just be alive. Those kinds of blues.
Bret Littlehales “Big Boy Little” has been singing and playing blues harp in the Washington, DC area since 1967. He’s opened for such blues greats as B.B. King, Koko Taylor and Junior Wells.
****
We're looking forward to playing a full night of all kinds of blues with 2 of DC’s finest blues frontmen! Great music for dancing, so come out and dance or just sit back and enjoy the show. Either way, the joint will be rockin’ and hips will be shakin’!
