Here’s more info on Stevie and the Blue Flames from their website:

“Stevie and the Blue Flames has been a Seattle fixture since the 1980s, and has performed in local clubs, parties, and numerous festivals. They are known for their intensity, great songwriting, and world class musicianship. The material is blues, but the songs are either original or carefully selected covers of traditional music, avoiding the worn out “bar band” favorites. The tempos are up: swing, shuffles, and funk to keep the dancers happy.”
