Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band

 

Kenny Wayne Shepherd has lived more than half of his life in the spotlight. He is widely considered to be one of the best blues/rock guitarists (James Brown once referred to him as 'one of the wonders of the world') and he has had six No. 1 blues albums and a string of No. 1 mainstream rock singles.

 

The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band is a veritable who’s who in rock and blues. In addition to long-time vocalist Noah Hunt, the band features drummer Chris Layton, a 2014 inductee into the Musicians Hall of Fame as a member of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, completing the band is New Orleans keyboardist Joe Krown and Scott Nelson on Bass who has gigged and recorded with the elite in the blues.

 

 

Massive Wagons

 

Massive Wagons are a British five piece rock 'n' roll band in the great British Rock tradition. No gimmicks, silly haircuts, stupid clothes or ridiculous claims – just straight up, in your face heavy rock 'n' roll. Signed to Earache records, they tipped for great things.

 

JOANovARC

 

All female four piece rock band. They have electrifying live shows, outstanding reviews and a rapidly growing fan base, recognising their status as a truly powerful example of women in music. Plus there is this seal of approval too ! “These girls can shred!” Bruce Dickinson – Iron Maiden
