This year, we were lucky enough to spend some time talking with Sugar Ray and the Bluetones about the burgeoning New England blues scene. A fixture among blues fans for over 40 years, Sugar Ray and the Bluetones try their hand at every iteration of the blues, from hard-driving Chicago blues to the swampy tones of the Mississippi Delta. This year, the band have been hitting the road hard on the back of their excellent new album, Living Tear To Tear, but they’ll soon be headed back to their old stomping grounds for a performance at Johnny D’s Uptown Restaurant and Music Club.
