       Welcome to the Blue 88 website. Blue 88 is an energetic blues rock band with a twenty year history in the Midwest and elsewhere. Veterans of too many Midwestern club and festival dates to count, the band has been spreading it's wings to other parts of the country from South Dakota to south Florida. Blue 88 was established twenty years ago by husband and wife team Mark and Sue Corbett on guitars, focusing on dual lead work and intricate chord voicings. This is featured on all four of our self - produced, all original, compact discs. You'll hear the influences of Allman Brothers, Savoy Brown, Janis Joplin, and Koko Taylor in a style some have called progressive blues, contemporary blues, or just plain old blues rock. No matter how you may want to describe it, we just like to play good music for good people.

        Blue 88 has had the privilege of opening shows for some legendary artists over the years, including Junior Wells, Robin Trower, Savoy Brown, Dave Mason, Black Oak Arkansas and the Marshall Tucker Band. We have also had the honor of competing in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis TN. and performing at the International South Florida Blues Festival in Fort Lauderdale Florida. We always look forward to our annual shows at the spring and fall motorcycle rallies in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Daytona Beach, Florida, and this year we will be celebrating our ninth year at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. Even though we are spending more time on the road, be sure to check our calender for local shows in or around our Kansas City, Kansas home base. Kansas City, Kansas has been the birthplace of many great musicians and we are proud to call it home.
