Big River Has The Blues! 13/10/15

Big River is the idea of Gravesend Guitarist Damo Fawsett, after playing a last minute gig with his old cohorts in The Chosen Few, his passion for Blues music resurfaced. Then upon seeing Vintage Trouble on TV, he realised that the Blues is well and truly alive and reaching a whole new generation of fans! No stranger to the WRC, having played at Bluesfest 2014, Damo began his search for like minded people and after a Dartford rehearsal studio session, Big River was born! Joining Fawsett in the band is Adam Bartholomew on vocals, who Damo tells us can out-soul Paul Rodgers and scream like Glenn Hughes in the next breath! Luke Calvert is on Drums, praised by Damo as "technically brilliant and all the while lays down a flawless groove" plus Ant Wellman on bass who was previously with the Reagan Browne Band and currently tours all over the UK and Europe with The Lambrettas - "a style of Jaco Pastorius and Andy Fraser - he was the perfect choice to lay down the bottom end" adds Damo. Big River has a seriously powerful sound all of their own and cover Blues tracks from all eras from Hendrix and Free through to modern bands like Rival Sons and Vintage Trouble - with the image to match. Big River will be one to watch and they hit the road from December 2015.
