Get ready for a night where the blues hits hard, grooves deep, and doesn’t let go. The SBG Band returns to the Empress Marquee Club, joined by one of the most electrifying performers on the scene — Aki Kumar.

Born in India and now a driving force in the Bay Area blues world, Aki Kumar brings a sound all his own — blending traditional Chicago-style blues with soul, funk, and a modern edge.

Known for high-energy performances and unmistakable harmonica style, Aki doesn’t just play the blues — he lives it on stage. His connection with the crowd is immediate, turning every show into a full-room experience.

Backing him is the SBG Band, a tight, road-tested group built on groove, grit, and serious musicianship. These are players who understand the language of the blues — deep pocket rhythm, expressive solos, and real stage chemistry.

This is driving rhythm, raw vocals, harmonica that cuts through the room, and a band locked in from the first note.
