Emanuel Casablanca at Incandescent Brewing
Blues Concert
Join us for an unforgettable evening of soul-stirring blues with the talented Emanuel Casablanca. Experience the raw power and emotion of live blues music at its finest, set against the vibrant backdrop of Incandescent Brewing in Bernardston, Massachusetts.
When Emanuel Casablanca picks up a guitar, it doesn’t just sing—it testifies. A torchbearer for 21st-century blues and blues-rock, Casablanca straddles grit and grace like few others in the genre today.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Emanuel grew up immersed in the rhythmic pulse of the city and the echoes of Southern blues. His influences—ranging from Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Jimi Hendrix, to Gary Clark Jr. and Dan Auerbach—converge in a sound that’s raw, rhythmic, and righteously unpolished. Casablanca first turned heads with his breakout LP, Fingers and Knives (2018), but it was his sophomore effort, Strung Out on Thrills (2020), that signaled the arrival of a major voice in modern blues.
His third album, Blood on My Hands (2022), catapulted him to new heights. Hailed by critics for its emotional depth and sonic swagger, the record garnered two Independent Blues Award nominations, including Best Emerging Artist Album and Best Modern Blues Performance. Casablanca's songwriting—marked by vivid, unfiltered storytelling—showed an artist unwilling to flinch, both musically and lyrically.
He’s shared stages and studio space with some of the heaviest hitters in the business: Eric Gales, whose fiery fretwork pushed Casablanca to new improvisational heights; Doug Wimbish, the iconic bassist from Living Colour, with whom he’s forged a gritty musical brotherhood; and Joe Louis Walker, a modern blues master who called Casablanca “the future of this music—rough, real, and unrelenting.” He’s also performed alongside artists like Corey Glover, James Samuel III, and Darcy Malone, continuing to expand his musical reach.
Jubilee, his 4th album release in 2025 Casablanca self describes his work as “both a reckoning and a resurrection.”
Emanuel Casablanca is known for his electrifying performances and deep-rooted passion for the blues, captivating audiences with his soulful voice and masterful guitar skills. Whether you're a longtime blues aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, this is a concert you won't want to miss.
Gather your friends, enjoy some of the finest brews, and let the music take you on a journey through the heart of the blues. See you there!
