Saturday night at Gatway: Tofield has released two critically acclaimed CDs; 1994’s “self titled” CD and 2000’s“Broken Strings”. Both received considerable airplay, earning Tofield the distinction of being “the 2nd most requested local artist of the year in 2003” on “Beef Stew’s Sunday Night Blue Show” on WCCC in Hartford, CT; a 6 hour blues show on one of Southern New England’s largest commercial radio stations, which reaches an audience of over 5 million listeners. As an international blues/rock act for over 16 years, “Chris Tofield and The Bluesbenders” have left audiences hot, sweaty and satisfied time and time again with their intense, high-energy shows. This reputation has earned Tofield and the band 7 consecutive “Hartford Advocate Readers Poll Awards” for “Best Blues/Rock Band” in Connecticut. They have been finalists numerous times in The Blues Foundation’s Blues Challenge competition and have opened for many legendary acts such as B.B King, Jeff Healey, Tower of Power, Robert Cray, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Edgar & Johnny Winter, Roomful of Blues and many others. Since relocating to Las Vegas, Chris has been carving a niche for himself in “the entertainment capital of the world” by working with some of the city’s top performers and musicians. As Chris is quoted as saying “If I’m not having a good time, how can I expect my audience to?” One thing for sure, when Chris Tofield plays, everyone has a good time!!
