Dave Rosazza founded Shade of Blue as a guitar trio, but soon found himself adding friends on keyboards, saxophone and vocals. When singers Simone Green and Joan Ruffin moved out of the area, it seemed to spell the end of the band, but they have kept the groove alive with a reunion concerts once a year or so.
Their April 16 show marks the first-ever performance at the Englert Theatre for the band, which was inducted into the Iowa Rock & Roll Hall of Fame last year.
