Kathleen & the Bridge Street Band

Lansing’s own “Queen of the Blues,” Kathleen Walters, has been captivating audiences in Michigan since the formation of her first band, Blues Xpress, in the late 90s. In 2020 she performs with Kathleen & the Bridge St Band, winners of the 2019 West Michigan Blues Society International Blues Challenge (WMBS IBC), with Steve Dely on slide guitar, Doug Fritch on guitar, Tim Brouhard on bass and harmonica and Eric Payne on drums. Jon Gewirtz continues to join the band on bari-sax for larger venues and festivals.
