Charlie Keating Band with the Rhythm Regulators are celebrating their 16th year together
featuring New England's premier slide guitar player Charlie Keating playing that Boston
Boogie. The band delivers a unique combination of Blues, Boogie, Rock and Funk.
Charlie has a brilliant slide guitar style that channels Johnny Winter, Duane Allman and
Elmore James. Many have compared Charlie's playing to early Stevie Ray Vaughan due
to Charlie's ability to combine lead and rhythm guitar simultaneously. The band is
well-known for its big sound and driving rhythm section.
Charlie is a gifted and prolific songwriter. The band's CD "Slide On Over" has gotten
consistent international airplay. The band is equally comfortable playing its unique
versions of covers, or doing a set of originals.
The Charlie Keating Band represented the Massachusetts Blues Society at the 29th
Annual International Blues Challenge in Memphis TN in 2013. The band has opened for
Ronnie Earl, Duke Robillard and Toni Lynn Washington.
The band members are: Charlie Keating (guitar, slide guitar, vocals), Lenny Turnquist (bass), Kerry Colclough (drums), K9 Jones (tail wagger)
