What’s On ·Empress Theatre ·Wednesday, February 4
The Bobby Young Project is bringing that real Oakland blues power to the
Empress Marquee Club for a Wednesday night that hits like a Saturday —
soulful, groove-heavy, and driven by guitar work that means something.
Fronted by veteran guitarist and vocalist Bobby Young, BYP delivers a hard-hitting West Coast blues sound
with tight dynamics and a band that knows how to lock in and lift a room.
Expect a two-guitar punch with Bobby Young and Nick Young,
backed by a powerful rhythm section that keeps it deep, punchy, and danceable.
- Blues Band of the Year (2016) — Northern California Entertainment Music Awards (plus later nominations)
- Community roots with the John Lee Hooker Foundation, including Blues in the Schools fundraisers
- An intimate room built for real live music — you’ll feel every note up close
The Marquee Club is the perfect vibe for this: close to the stage, loud in the right way, and made for nights where the band
takes over and the crowd becomes part of the show. Come early, grab your spot, and let BYP light it up.
