Two Sets 5:30 & 7 PM

If you are looking to chase those Monday Blues away, then come listen to some Sunday Blues with Joshua2 and the Dark Horse Band!

They return to Uncle Cheef’s with some sweet surprises, such as new blues songs sung in Joshua2’s unique Pentecostal style, some storytelling you won’t hear anywhere else, and a few new musicians in the Dark Horse Band! All of this sets up a one-of-a-kind performance that cannot be duplicated!

Joshua2 is a prolific visual artist, civil rights activist, and singer/songwriter who has performed on stages along the Eastern seaboard from North Carolina to Maine. Internationally, he has performed in Amsterdam, Germany, Portugal, and New Zealand. He finally settled in New York, and has honed his unique blend of Pentacostal Blues music, Black history, and civil rights storytelling. While performing throughout Harlem and Manhattan in such clubs as Red Rooster, Silvana’s, Minton’s, Lenox Saphire, Paris Blues, Smoke, and Ashford and Simpson’s Sugar Bar he earned the nickname “The Reverend.”

He became musical and recording friends with Harlem favorites Phil Young (son of Lester Young), Andy Story, Patience Higgins, Billy Bland, Ken Hatfield, and Professor Harp from New England- who was just inducted into the New England Music Hall of Fame. In 2015, Joshua2 developed, produced, and performed his own show on the stage of Mist, in Harlem; and in 2019, he performed as the MC and sang with the Dark Horse Band at the Peekskill Fall Festival.

His band is comprised of professional musicians, singer/songwriters, and musical publishers who have performed with such luminaries as Dizzy Gillespie, Darlene Love, Ben E. King, Charlie Byrd, Public Enemy, Stephanie Mills, Toni Braxton, and Pat Benetar. Their prolific musical careers have led them to win ASCAP awards, and earn the accolades from notable musical critics. So make your reservations and come have a wang-dang-doodle of a time with Joshua2 and the Dark Horse Band!
