The Pete Harris R&B Allstars

THE PETE HARRIS R&B ALL STARS perform a blend of BB King style uptown blues and old-school R&B, with a hint of soul and rock and roll.

The band consist of Pete Harris ( vocals and guitar), Bob Manley (bass), Steve Groves (drums). Ray Drury (keyboards) and ace Paul Tasker (saxophone).

Pete Harris has been active on the blues scene for over 30 years. With the Bob Pearce Blues Band he gigged extensively in the UK and Europe, recording an album on the prestigious Blue Horizon label.

He has subsequently led various incarnations of the Pete Harris Blues Band, recognised as one of the leading blues bands on the South coast . Pete has performed onstage with many American Blues artistes, notably Phil Guy (brother of Buddy Guy), Lowell Fulson, Tabby Thomas, Gene " Mighty Flea" Connors, Mojo Buford (ex Muddy Waters Band), Byther Smith, Carrie and Lurrie Bell, Jerry McCain and Lazy Lester. He has appeared on BBC television, and many times on national and local radio and T.V . Pete has performed in the UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and New Zealand, where he headlined at several festivals.
