Winners of the 2025 New Hampshire State Blues Challenge, Bees Deluxe headed to Memphis, Tennessee to compete in the International Blues Challenge, January 2026, and after two great shows at B.B. King's on Beale Street, advanced to the semi-finals. 

Hell-bent on their mission to bring the blues into the 21st century, Bees Deluxe pushes the limits, colors outside the lines of convention and bends the genre to create a sound that is distinct, highly musical and yet deeply respectful of the blues tradition. 

Fronted and founded by British guitarist Conrad Warre, the band’s repertoire includes addictive originals, as well as fresh takes on tunes by artists ranging from Billie Holiday to Jimi Hendrix. Bees Deluxe has toured from Maine to Miami winning fans, amazing audiences and sharing the stage with headliners like: Ronnie Earl, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Mike Zito, Walter Trout, Joanna Connor, Matt Schofield, Mike Welch and Roomful of Blues.
