The Enterprise Blues Band are a group of actors and show business professionals who got together in 2004 through the enthusiasm and encouragement of Vaughn Armstrong. 

If you not allergic to fun, then trust me, you will enjoy them.

Vaughn Armstrong has appeared many times on the very popular TV show Star Trek, and holds the record for having played the most characters in its entire history (13).  He's been on The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and most recently, he starred in many episodes as Admiral Forrest on Star Trek: Enterprise.  And he watched The Original Series when it was on originally, so that must count that too.  Read more of Vaughn's ST credentials here. 

Vaughn also can be seen playing a Klingon in the Star Trek Experience ride in Las Vegas.  Vaughn has been on ER, West Wing, Buffy, Babylon 5, Frasier, and Quantum Leap, and is in the new movies Finding Amanda with Matthew Broderick, and Transformers directed by Michael Bay.

Vaughn returned to the stage in the play Joanna's Husband, David's Wife in Los Angeles, for it's second run at the Freemont Centre Theatre.  Next year he will back at the FCT starring in TS Cooke's Ravensridge. 

Recently, he co-starred in the short film Trail End with Barry Corbin, which has picked up three Film Festival awards in 2007. 

Vaughn decided to form the Enterprise Blues Band to entertain the fans at Star Trek conventions, and to help ensure they have as much fun as he does at these events.  It worked!

So that's the Band.  But this doesn't even begin to explain what they are all about.  I've been to a number of Conventions (and a lot of parties) and met quite a few of the Star Trek actors, but there are none that come close to being as genuine, as friendly, as funny, or as down-right entertaining as these guys.
