The Eddie Kold Band stands at the crossroads of Chicago’s gritty blues tradition and Cologne’s vibrant music scene. Led by guitarist and educator Eddie Kold, the band has carved out a reputation for raw authenticity, soulful storytelling, and stage-shaking performances.
With two acclaimed releases on the legendary L+R Records, both recorded in Chicago and featuring a host of scene-defining guest artists, the band has proven its deep connection to the heart of the blues. These sessions captured the spirit of the South Side—live, loud, and loaded with soul.
Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Larry Doc Watkins, the band blends classic blues tones with fresh energy. Watkins’ voice—featured on the upcoming single “Lipstick on Your Bra” (Nov/Dec 2025)—brings fire and finesse to every verse.
Whether on record or on stage, the Eddie Kold Band delivers blues that’s lived-in, loved, and loud.
