Larry Garner With The Norman Beaker Band - Now Booking

Larry Garner With The Norman Beaker Band

Touring the UK and Europe March / April / May 2013

American bluesman Larry Garner has found a true musical soul mate in British blues veteran Norman Beaker.   Garner may have paid his dues in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while Beaker cut his gigging teeth in northern England with people such as Alexis Korner , Jack Bruce, Jimmy Rogers, BB King etc ; put them on stage together, and they are definitely drawing from the same musical roots.

Garners powerful vocals and expressive musicianship make him a natural front man his songs are delivered with a sense of irony with lyrics that are both meaningful and amusing, added to this Larry has a wonderfully expressive voice, is a fine guitarist and a great performer.Larry was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where he picked up on the Swamp Blues music popular in that area, inspired by artistes such as Silas Hogan and Clarence Edwards, he has won just about every award including WC Handy and BB King awards

Like Larry, Norman’s songs are also full of social comment and modern day situations, this is a coming together of two modern day Troubadours with something new to say."-

Big Boy Bloater Gig in Lincoln 27th October

Saturday 27 October 8pm @ Lincoln Drill Hall, Free School Lane, Lincoln. LN2 1EY

 

Big Boy Bloater & The Limits

Bloater took up the guitar aged 11, influenced heavily by his father’s great love of music. Fronting his own bands brought him to the attention of many at a young age, but he took a step back in 2009 and spent 2010 writing and recording material that brought Big Boy Bloater to where he is today. You will be mesmerised by his hard-hitting vocals, enviable guitar skills and the ability to write catchy songs and clever lyrics.

’One of the great blues men of our time’ Jools Holland

Supported by Captain Bluetongue

Tickets: £12 on the day (£10 in advance) from 01522 873894
