Jeff Dale & The Blue Wave Band - What It Is (40th Anniversary Edition) (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Jeff Dale is an award winning songwriter and performer, born and raised on the south side of Chicago.

Having played all over the United States, he also reaches international audiences with recent shows in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Central America. The City of Los Angeles presented Jeff Dale with a Living Legend Blues Award to honor his 40 + years of performing and writing original roots music.

Before he could shave, Jeff was exposed to the music and live performances of Hound Dog Taylor, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Koko Taylor and many more practitioners of Chicago blues. “In the neighborhood where I grew up,” says Dale, “if you had your antennas up, you could feel the blues right there.”

Jeff’s long blues lineage includes accompanying legendary performers such as Pee Wee Crayton, David “Honeyboy” Edwards the last of the original Delta bluesmen, and Lowell Fulson. Finding tapes from a show Dale did with Fulson back in 1983, led to the 2021 release of Lowell Fulson Live! With Jeff Dale & The Blue Wave Band, which garnered so much airplay that it yielded a #1 track on the Roots Music Airplay Report and was nominated for a Blues Blast Music Award.

Dale has collected tales and advice in his travels through the world of the blues, being in the company of greats like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Willie Dixon, Etta James, Albert King and Clifton Chenier.
