Deze Canadese gitarist is pas 22 jaar oud en heeft nu al zijn derde album uitgebracht. Toen hij zestien jaar oud was verscheen zijn eerste, “Infected With The Blues”, waar ik toen zeer van onder de indruk was. Inmiddels zijn we zes jaar verder en heeft hij al wat prijzen in de wacht weten te slepen. Spencer heeft zich verder ontwikkeld en heeft in de afgelopen jaren flinke stappen weten te maken.

Hij wordt gewaardeerd als een van de beste slidegitaristen, deze Dennis Johnson. Zijn eerste invloeden zijn Robert Johnson en Chuck Berry, en met een zetje in de rug van de legendarische Honeyboy Edwards stortte hij zich volledig in de blues zonder de aanverwante stijlen uit het oog te verliezen. Met enkele goed ontvangen albums op zijn naam is hij inmiddels een begrip in de blueswereld.

Rock: STEVE HILL - DESERT TRIP

STEVE HILL - DESERT TRIP
Release Date: November 6, 2020

n the fall of 2016 I went to California with some friends to attend the Desert Trip Festival in Coachella. I had an amazing time while I was there and decided to hang around L.A. a little longer. After a couple of days in the city I felt an urge to move and a need to explore. I rented a camper van and criss-crossed the state for about 3 weeks, bought a guitar and wrote some tunes in it at night while camping in Death Valley, Big Sur, Yosemite, San Rafael and many other wild places.

Big Dave McLean to Release Pocket Full Of Nothin'
on October 4, 2019

The first thing Big Dave McLean will tell you about Pocket Full Of Nothin’, his newest release on Black Hen Music, is that it isn’t a straight-ahead blues album. For, even though Dave has been playing the blues since he first heard John Hammond perform at the Mariposa Folk Festival fifty years ago, he’s always been open to a variety of musical styles and approaches to presenting a song.
