AGoGo Blues Band 成立於2006年,當時的吉他手李家豪與口琴手兼主唱曹鈞偉在觀賞過 Blues Bash 3 之後,決定成立一支藍調樂團,日後貝斯手顏嘉信與鼓手項藝凱陸續加入,2009年黑管手王傳璋與小號手高翊鈞加入後便成現在的陣容。
樂
團演出向來以美國藍調音樂、靈魂樂、放克樂曲例如“Hoochie Coochie Man”, “The Creeper”, “Little by
Little”, “Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out”, “What a Wonderful
World”, “Mustang Sally”, “Messin' With The Kid”, “I've Got Dreams to
Remember”, “Got my mojo working”等,同時亦演奏一些傳統爵士樂例如“Autumn Leaves”, “Blue
Bossa”等等。
AGoGo Blues Band 通常在 Comedy club 演出,值得一提的是這家酒吧舞台並沒有爵士鼓的設置,但鼓手項藝凱卻能徒手以手鼓(例如中東鼓、拉丁鼓等)方式演出以取代音樂裡的節奏,是值得用心聆賞的台灣藍調樂團。

Blues Band usually live at the Comedy club. It's special that no more
drum sets there, but Jeremy plays some percussions like Tablah, conga
as the beats of our band. They’re worth listening to attentively.
