The Blue
Cadillacs
'Real Rock n' Roll !'
Biography
In the late '80s The Blue Cadillacs were one of the most popular and hard-working Rock n' Roll bands on the circuit, sometimes playing over three hundred shows a year. They have been featured live on Radio 2 and have performed at many conventions and venues up and down the country. Original members Bob Mace & Carl Chamberlain have reformed the band together with new singer Malcolm Smith and slap-bassist Rob Brewer. Now they are bringing their brand of energetic Rockabilly and Rock n' Roll to an enthusiastic reception from both old fans and new audiences alike.
