Roomful of Blues, the jumping, swinging, rocking, award-winning band, will perform as part of the 17th Annual Rock-N-Jock Charities Night of Entertainment at the Crowne Plaza Garden Pavilion in Warwick on Sunday, August 13. Their latest CD, 2013's 45 LIVE, is a lightning-in-a-bottle blowout, showcasing the larger-than-life vocal and instrumental power of the band. 2018 will mark the band's 50th anniversary.

The group has earned five Grammy Award nominations and a slew of other accolades, including seven Blues Music Awards. Twice, the prestigious DownBeat International Critics Poll selected them as Best Blues Band. With their masterful combination of jumping, horn-heavy blues and R&B, it's no wonder why the great Count Basie called them "the hottest blues band I've ever heard." Showtime is 7 p.m., tickets are $35. Additional information can be found on www.rocknjockcharities.com.
