The band performs regularly on the North West Blues circuit, and they return to Matt and Phreds following a great gig in January this year.
Their sound and arrangements are original and authentic, capturing the spirit of Mississippi, Memphis and Chicago Blues music at its best. Expect blues classics by Jimmy Reed, Little Walter, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Junior Wells, Sonny Boy Williamson, BB King, Albert King, Howlin' Wolf, John Mayall, Eric Clapton, and beyond!
