Blues -  The Dukes of Destiny

Saturday, August 10, 2024 (Rain date August 11) 5 to 7:30 pm

The Dukes of Destiny have been playing the blues together since 1985, when the original five members would play in a rambling three-story house in Philadelphia. After a couple of other musicians joined in, they decided to take the act on the road as The Dukes of Destiny, a name they got from a matchbook cover urging the reader to "Be the Captain of Your Own Destiny." There have been changes over the years, but today they are led by dynamic harmonica player and singer John Colgan-Davis with Adam Darer on keys, Richard Ray Adler on guitar and vocals, Mike Blair on bass, and Mike O'Rourke on drums. The Dukes continue to present an exciting mix of powerful original songs and unique arrangements of blues and soul standards. They remain Philadelphia's longest-lived and best-loved blues band.
