Morrissey Blvd. is an emerging R&B and funk band of four siblings from the City of New Bedford Massachusetts. With over six years playing together as professional musicians and hundreds of shows under their belt, Morrissey Blvd. has begun to attract the attention of music legends and industry leaders with their unique blend of a wide range of classic and contemporary R&B funk and up-tempo rock ‘n’ roll. Morrissey Blvd.’s fans now include Dr. Otis Williams, the founding member of the Temptations, Irvine Mayfield, the celebrated Grammy award winning trumpet player from New Orleans, Ben E. King Junior of R&B royalty, and some of the most prolific contemporary producers and managers in the industry. But more importantly, Morrissey Blvd.’s electrifying enthusiasm for their music – and for one another as siblings – get audiences large and small off their chairs and onto the dance floor. From New Orleans to Orlando, and many places in between, audiences are gob-smacked at Morrissey Blvd’s eclectic range and wholesome yet infectious up-tempo spirit.
