The Blues Night at Sweeney’s - Thursday, June 25!

The Empty Belly Blues Band is a true brotherhood of blues and soul lovers, drawn together from across the globe and united by a shared passion for the music that moves the soul. As proud members of the Philadelphia Blues Society, we’re dedicated to preserving and celebrating the deep roots of American blues.

Fronted by veteran blues belter Alabama Sam, our ensemble of seasoned musicians delivers a powerful and authentic performance that channels the raw energy and emotional depth of the blues. As a Philly blues band serving the Philadelphia area, our repertoire features a dynamic mix of original songs, timeless blues standards—from legends like B.B. King and Muddy Waters—and classic soul staples from the likes of Tyrone Davis, The Temptations, and Wilson Pickett.

Close your eyes and you’re there. Let Sam take you back to where it all began.
