Next up at The Bullfrog Blues Club at The Dockyard Club, Onslow Rd.,
Southsea PO52NH on THURSDAY 5th OCTOBER - the return of the fabulous ZOE
SCHWARZ BLUE COMMOTION!!!
THE ZOE SCHWARZ BLUE COMMOTION refresh the blues genre with eclectic
arrangements, virtuoso playing and vocal prowess. They perform an exciting
live set based around rootsy original songs, strong catchy riffs and
exciting grooves; they mix old school tradition with contemporary verve and
sophistication.
Zoe's dynamic and commanding vocal delivery and interpretive ability is
complimented by the unmistakable and inimitable touch and flow of the
accomplished guitarist ROB KORAL; together with the highly accomplished
rhythm section of PETE WHITTAKER on Hammond organ and EDDIE JOHN on drums.
Both of these guys have played with a veritable "who's-who" of jazz, blues
and pop legends, and push the music in unpredictable and exciting
directions.
THE ZOE SCHWARZ BLUE COMMOTION have made a considerable impact this last
decade and is one of the bands that have added a fresh approach and
vibrancy to the UK blues scene, receiving awards and nominations and were
finalists in the UK Blues Awards.
