After numerous postponements due to Covid 19, AT LAST we can announce the return of the fabulous MALONE SIBUN BAND, on Thursday 2nd September at The Bullfrog Blues Club at The Dockyard Club (DYC), Onslow Rd, Southsea, PO5 2NH. We're proud to welcome back this great band, featuring the soulful Detroit blues singer and guitarist Marcus Malone and the explosive British blues guitarist Innes Sibun. Marcus Malone's acclaimed album "A Better Man" recently topped several 'best of the year' polls and he was also nominated as a finalist in the European Blues Awards. The former UA and Motown artist had a diverse hard rock and soul background, before he settled in a blues/rock direction and relocated to the UK. He played the Albert Hall with BB King and quickly established himself as a top flight blues rocker Innes Sibun was barely in his 20's when he was produced by the legendary Mike Vernon, before joining Robert Plant's "Fate of Nations" world tour. He subsequently built an international reputation by signing with the American label Viceroy, and then Provogue and Blues Boulevard in Europe. He became a pivotal member of Sari Schorr & The Engine Room, with whom he cut the acclaimed "A Force of Nature" album. Marcus: Not only does Innes have shades of my favourite guitar players " Jimmy Page, Hendrix and Paul Kossoff " but he also has the soulful approach and the dynamics of BB and Albert King. Put all those influences together and you get the unique style of Innes Sibun. My writing draws on classic rock to blues rock â" and even a bit of 60â s West Coast â" so Innes â~suits me to a Tâ , as we say in Detroit. Whatever I throw his way he compliments with his guitar style and vice versa. Innes: Listening to Marcus Malone I hear echoes of two of my favourite singers, Paul Rodgers, Otis Redding and early David Coverdale, but above all itâ s Marcusâ s own unmistakable style & delivery. Iâ m influenced by a melting pot of blues, rock and soul, and Marcusâ s songs have that sweet blend of all three of those styles, which at times reminding me of Free, Thin Lizzy and lots of Stax influences. This promises to be an incendiary evening of music, NOT TO BE MISSED!
