Description

The Michael Sykes Band

Michael, James, Hugh and Russell create an original sound that they say ?peers into the past and reaches into the future?. The band creates an earthy, bluesy, ambient sound with roots in blues-rock, folk and jazz. ?From timeless songs to edgy, captivating improvisation, performances are eclectic, dynamic and unique, reflecting the diverse musical nature of the group.?

?This is dirty blues at its finest? BBC Introducing Devon & Cornwall.
?Get ready to be swept away by the rolling beauty of ?The River?, the magical new song by the Michael Sykes Band? BBC Introducing Devon & Cornwall.

================

The Sugar Shakers

The Sugar Shakers play music from across the spectrum of R&B from its early days in the 50s through the 60s and into the 70s with music from Dr Feelgood to Howlin? Wolf, Rufus Thomas to BB King and from the Rolling Stones to Ray Charles and beyond. Throwing in some obscure morsels for good measure, this band will take you on a journey from the Mississippi delta to the Thames delta. One minute in Chicago the next in Memphis then a detour to Southend and Canvey Island. The Sugar Shakers promise, ?a night of solid R&B for dancing, for listening and just simply for enjoyment.?

Martin Tucker: vocals & harmonica
Rob Bright: guitar & backing vocals
Roger Stone: bass guitar
Ian Loud: drums & backing vocals
