The Crimestoppers

This band has been playing the Mid-Atlantic scene, from Maryland to North Carolina, for over thirty-five (35) years. Founding Washington Area Musician Association members (WAMA) and Wammie-nominated Crimestoppers play a combination of classic rock, rockin’ blues, and newer alt-rock selections. The band covers everything from classic Chicago and Delta blues, to Eric Clapton/Cream, to Neil Young, to the Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead, to Stevie Ray Vaughn, to Gin Blossoms and DaDa, to band member originals. Their flexible styles and broad range of covers makes them ideal for all kinds of venues and parties. They can play with the best of the blues bands, and be equally at home in the classic rock and jam-band scene. The band has multiple configurations for all occasions, including 4-piece, 5-piece with sax or harp, 6-piece with sax or harp, and 7-piece with 2 guitars and sax or harp. Guaranteed to please, both from a listening and revenue per seat perspective, the band has played every club that no longer exists in the Mid-Atlantic area, including: The Bayou, The Wax Museum, The Psychedelly, Club Saba/Roxy, The Gentry, Hunters, The Mineshaft (Charlottesville VA), The Carolinian (Nagshead NC), and many more that we no longer remember (hey, 30 years is a long time!).

Tribute), Bethesda Blues and Jazz Club, Hard Rock (DC), Delaware State Music Festival (Dewey Beach DE, four years!), The Bethany Beach (Delaware) Bandstand (3 years), Rusty Rudder (Dewey Beach), The Globe 94.7-sponsored Army 10M race at the Pentagon (Three years in a row!), Nationals Stadium Fairground, Bayou DC, Clyde’s of Chevy Chase, JVs Restaurant, Lakewood Country Club, Lansdowne (VA) Resort, Old Anglers Inn, Rockville Town Center, Montgomery Village (MD) Summer Concert Series, Bethesda (MD) Downtown Rocks, VisArts (Rockville MD), Star Diner Tiki Bar, Bangkok Blues, Dunmore’s Tavern, Jays Saloon, Fast Eddies Blues Room, The Chalkboard (Bethany Beach DE), Frogg Pond (Rehoboth Beach DE), Rodeo, Outta the Way Café, Public House No. 7, and Chick Hall’s Surf Club, along with private and corporate events all year long.
