Cobalt Rhythm Kings

The Cobalt Rhythm Kings were born 28 years ago when the original four were thrown together to jam on a stage in New Haven. They have remained one of CT’s leading blues bands for more than a quarter century — performing as far away as the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, Arkansas and in CT’s best venues, including Black-Eyed Sally’s. Fronted for 25 years by native Chicagoans Wendell Jones on bass guitar & vocals and Mark Zaretsky on harmonica & vocals, The Kings have been an enduring presence on the CT scene.
