Eddie Rickert and Blue Voodoo
Bloomington, MN
Blue Voodoo is a hot blues trio from Bloomington, Minnesota. They came together in 2004 and have been playing gigs around the Twin Cities ever since. Blue Voodoo plays Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, BB King, Muddy Waters and others as well as a sprinkling of their own material.
The band members include Steve Bennett on drums. Steve brings amazing, consistent percussion to the band. John Rickert plays bass and provides energy and enthusiasm to each and every song he plays. Eddie Rickert plays lead guitar and sings vocals. He is the heart and soul of Blue Voodoo. Not a gig goes by where Eddie does not have audience members in awe of this 18-year old’s talent.
Eddie has won several awards including Outstanding Interpretation Awards-Senior Musical Composition Division in statewide contests. His most recent accomplishment was becoming a regional finalist in the Guitar Center’s Guitarmageddon Contest, King of the Blues. As a regional finalist, Eddie was one of only 19 guitar players remaining throughout the United States after over 4000 had already been eliminated.
Eddie is dedicated to keeping the blues alive. Music is his passion and together with Steve and John, he hopes to accomplish his mission.
