This Week’s Music Highlights: 07/09/2026 – New Jersey Stage
Boston-based blues/rock band Bees Deluxe, led by the always cheerful Conrad Warre, is gearing up for an eventful summer with an upcoming show in Tuckerton. Known for their energetic and improvisational style, the band is constantly on the move, either on the road or in the studio. With an upcoming new record in the works, Bees Deluxe is excited to share their music with audiences up and down the East Coast.
Having recently participated in the International Blues Challenge, Bees Deluxe surprised themselves by making it to the semi-finals, a result that Warre attributes to their diverse and original music. However, the band feels that they may have lost an edge by including a cover song in their set for the judges. As they prepare for the next competition in January 2027, they are focusing on producing new original material to showcase their unique sound.
Warre, the primary songwriter for the band, collaborates with keyboard player Carol to create dynamic and engaging music that keeps audiences captivated. Their process involves recording all four band members simultaneously to capture the essence of their live performances. Embracing improvisation and spontaneity, Bees Deluxe strives to keep their music fresh and exciting, avoiding the constraints of playing note-for-note solos night after night.
With a busy touring schedule that includes stops at their favorite venues, such as The Lizzie Rose and Jamey’s House of Music, Bees Deluxe values the opportunity to connect with fans and share their music in intimate settings. Their love for playing live shows shines through as they deliver high-energy performances that captivate audiences for hours on end. While some venues have strict schedules that dictate set times and breaks, Bees Deluxe prefers to keep the music flowing continuously to maintain momentum and engage with their listeners.
As they continue to tour and record new music, Bees Deluxe remains dedicated to their craft and passionate about sharing their music with the world. With an upcoming performance at The Lizzie Rose on July 31, audiences can expect an unforgettable evening of rockin’ blues music and lively performances from one of the hardest working bands on the East Coast. Don’t miss the chance to experience the magic of Bees Deluxe live in concert and see why they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of blues/rock music.
