This young blues prodigy was first brought to prominence when he guested with Hamilton Loomis on his 2009 UK tour. His band have already clocked up an impressive number of gigs on the blues circuit including The Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival, Newark Blues Festival and Ramsbottom Blues festival amongst many others. Taking inspiration form the likes of Joe Bonnamassa,Walter Trout, Samuel C Lees and Matt Schofield you can expect a blistering set of electric blues at its best. |

I have also played with Sam Wain who is a great Boogie Woogie and Blues pianist. My teacher is Samuel C. Lees and he is amazing and he is a great influence. I also got to meet one of my heros "Walter Trout" back stage at the Colne Blues Festival.I also got to meet Joe Bonnamassa in Sheffield.
