Description

Price from: £300

Three-Piece Blues/Rock/Funk band. We take classic songs and twist them into our unique style. We cover songs from Joe Bonamassa to BB King, Larry Carlton to Robben Ford, Hendrix to ZZ Top, Richie Kotzen to John Mayer, Prince to The Temptations, Bill Withers to Marvin Gaye, Lynyrd Skynyrd to Bad Company. Each of our songs has that little something extra. It could be taking a soul song and turning it to a driving rock/blues foot tapper, or taking a Hendrix tune and twisting it to a funky groove, an old blues classic and switching it to a cool funky smooth jazz number.

The band have many years of extensive experience, travelling the country to play pubs, clubs, functions, festivals, private parties. between us we've played alongside such bands as Wishbone Ash, Average White Band, Marillion, Larry Miller, Eugene Hideaway Bridges to name a few.
