Osgood & Blaque Duo Band: Home

Osgood & Blaque duo band made history again in 2007 as the first duo blues band to perform on a major casino stage in Mississippi, and perhaps, the entire southeastern region of the United States. It shoud be observed that Greg Osgood and Cee Blaque appear on a recently dedicated blues marker alongside African American musicians of note such as Louisiana Red, Artie "Blues Boy" White, Percy Strothers, Muddy Waters, Little Joe Blue, Milt Hinton, the Red Tops from Vicksburg, Johnny Dyer, J.D. Short and others who have lived along the southern stretch of Highway 61 in Mississippi, that are included along the blues trail. The next time you visit Vicksburg, check out blues marker #64 located at the corner of Washington and Jackson Streets in downtown Vicksburg, Mississippi.

In an age where duo bands are rare, Osgood & Blaque duo band have set the standard: (1) Breaking new ground; (2) Presenting their music in an exciting, acceptable fashion; (3) Preserving their mission. The Vicksburg, Mississippi duo's performance at the 22nd International Blues Challenge held on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee was indicative of a new trend and was so impressive that it prompted Director and Coordinator Joe Whitmer, to say about them: "I want to personally congratulate as well as thank you for making this year's challenge the best in history. You should be very proud of your performance on Beale Street! Everyone is raving about the great talent that you brought to town for the International Blues Challenge. My hat off to you“.
