The PennZone

LANCASTER, Pa. - PennZone -- With three Billboard-charting albums under their belt, New Jersey Blues Hall of Fame member, Bob Lanza, and his critically-acclaimed band from the wilds of North Jersey return with their sixth album, Breadman's Blues.  An entertaining mix of five originals and five choice covers, The Bob Lanza Blues Band presents a musical look ahead while still paying homage to the past. Breadman's Blues is planned for February 7, 2025 release.

Bob Lanza embarked on his blues journey in 1979 and has been navigating the vibrant tri-state area scene for more than four decades. Many Sunday afternoons were spent hanging at Dan Lynch's bar blues jam, hosted by the Holmes Brothers, where he was introduced to some of the greats of the time. In 2006, James Cotton asked Lanza to be his backing band on a few northeast gigs, starting a ten year relationship with Cotton. After participating in the 2011 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, the band gained national recognition which led to a signing to Connor Ray Music (Houston, Texas) in 2015. This opened the door to collaborations with fellow label artists including Trudy Lynn, Steve Krase, and Ally Venable, many of which continue to this day.
