Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut EP, 'Dancing for Money' (2018), the Oxfordshire based band have toured their contagiously hook-filled, fist pumping sound around the country, including packed venues across Oxfordshire and London’s Camden Town. Indeed, the band’s EP launch will be held at The Black Heart in Camden, London, on Thursday 27th February.

"The short set sees Matt play some serious Gary Moore like Blues on his trusty Gibson with keys bass and drums providing the rhythm and melody. And his Scottish lilt is evident in his strong vocals. Interlaced with judicious wah, the screaming Blues guitar is excellent. For 'Ordinary Blues' he swaps the Gold Top for an Ibanez hollowbody which gives a twangier lilt to his Cry Baby’s sobbing. Title track of the new album 'Gotta Get Home' is a slide and fingerpicking sensation that has Southern states Blues written all over it whilst new track 'Got A Thing Going On' allows Matt to show his rockier side back on the Gibson again." Today read the whole of Mother's take on Matt Pearce & The Mutiny and Savoy Brown at Chislehurst's The Beaverwood on Tuesday 14th January here, plus also check out our Photo Gallery here plus our Savoy Brown Video Of The Day filmed at The Great British Rock And Blues Festival, Butlins, Skegness, Lincolnshire, three days later.

Indeed Jonathan will be touring with Chelsea Wolfe to support the release, opening for her ‘Birth Of Violence’ acoustic tour in the UK and Europe in March, including London's Alexandra Palace Theatre on Sunday 22nd March.

His Mighty Combo also features Kid Carlos - an outstanding young guitar player from Spain; Ian Jennings on upright bass; Matt Little on keyboards; Paul Tasker on saxophone and Mike Hellier on drums.

The White Buffalo, the touring and recording persona of US singer/songwriter Jake Smith, recently signed a global deal with Snakefarm Records – a young label within the Universal Music Group spotlighting Roots, Country Rock, Blues and Americana. And once again, Smith will be taking it live; having confirmed Spring 2020 shows including London's O2 Forum on Thursday 23rd April. Raised in California with an abiding love of both classic Country and Punk Rock, Emmy nominee Smith has been pursuing his creative instincts under The White Buffalo banner for the better part of two decades. From the start, the guitarist set about establishing a path away from trend and genre, touching on a variety of musical strands – from dark Folk through to urgent Rock ‘n’ Roll - whilst maintaining a strong, signature voice: a rich, conspiratorial, timber-shakin’ baritone that smacks of hard miles travelled and late-night stories told.

Today's latest Rock On The Ridge Track Of The Day features music from Tainted Lady, Jake E Lee's Red Dragon Cartel, Greenleaf, The Cold Stares, Goodbye June, Ghost Hounds, The Lazys, The Answer, Blacktop Mojo, Black Tree Vultures, Black Star Riders, Black Coffee, Humble Pie, Rainbow, Rush, Liberty Lies, Gasoline Outlaws, Charm City Devils, Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown, Deadland Ritual, Dirty Honey, The Marcus King Band, Tom Morello, Sons of Liberty (pictured) and Those Damn Crows.
