Misty Blues & Bees Deluxe team up to blow the roof off the Bull Run
Award winning blues heavyweights join forces for one unforgettable night at the Bull Run in Shirley, MA on Saturday, May 1, 2026. Doors open at 6 pm for dinner and settling in; the music kicks off at 8 pm
Fronted by powerhouse vocalist and band founder Gina Coleman, Misty Blues has been shaking up stages since 1999 with original and traditional blues supercharged by jazz, soul, funk, and gospel. The Berkshire County crew has shared the spotlight with legends like Charles Neville and has opened for modern greats including Tab Benoit and John Primer, building a touring history that stretches across the U.S. and Canada. Their recordings spin on radio on both sides of the Atlantic, but it’s live—up close, in the room—where their songs truly catch fire.
Kicking off the night, Bees Deluxe brings a fearless, genre bending take on the blues that’s equal parts groove, edge, and surprise. Led by British guitarist Conrad Warre, the band jumps from inventive originals to left field covers, always with sharp musicianship and deep reverence for the roots of the music. Fresh from a 2026 run to the semi finals of the International Blues Challenge and a win at the 2025 New Hampshire State Blues Challenge, they’ve toured nationally and traded licks with icons like Ronnie Earl, Joanna Connor, Mike Zito and Joanne Shaw Taylor.
This Bull Run concert is a vivid snapshot of the New England blues scene right now: seasoned road warriors, rising momentum, and zero interest in playing it safe. Misty Blues and Bees Deluxe are known for high energy sets, daring arrangements, and the kind of onstage chemistry that can turn a great show into a legendary one. Expect deep grooves, standout solos, surprise song choices, and an evening that celebrates where the blues has been—and where it’s headed next.
