Feature Band: Marci Jean & The Fever-
In May, we will feature a singer and musician that we last hosted during the backyard shows in May of 2020; Marci Jean Fabrini. At that time she was performing with the Belmont Kings and she really knocked our socks off. If you wish to reprise that stunning performance, visit this link on our Basin Street Regulars YouTube channel:
Her new sensational new band is named Marci Jean & The Fever.
They will transport you back in time to the juke joints and knocked-out dives! Playing 1940s and 50s jump blues and R&B! Marci
Jean sings authentic originals as well as covering artists like
Laverne Baker to Etta James. This excellent group features well-known local blues guitarist and vocalist James Scoolis and also a national recording artist Wes Star on drums. The band is rounded out by Wil Anderson on bass and Brad Hackleman on saxophone.
