Heavy Juice

  • Mansion Hill Tavern 502 Washington Avenue Newport, KY, 41071 United States (map)

We are proud to be called “the tightest loose band you’re ever gonna hear.” Five Southwest Ohio music veterans formed Heavy Juice around a passion for the Chicago grooves of Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Junior Wells and other urban blues masters. Shouting, emotion-rich vocals and triple-threat soloing--blues harp, keyboard and guitar, including nasty South Side slide! The band name Heavy Juice comes from a 1953 King Records instrumental that we turn into a jumping showpiece. In Chicago tradition, we dabble in organ trio jazz, classic Rhythm & Blues, and late-night West Coast cool. But most of all get ready for swinging shuffles, fun rhumbas, infectious boogies and slow, torchy ballads straight from the 1950s and 60s Windy City.
