BluesMix
Funky, soulful Blues from London band BluesMix. Their 2nd album release ‘Biding My Time’ received lots of praise from the music press. Blues Matters magazine called it “Top class funky blues”. Classic Rock magazine gave it a glowing 8/10 review. RocknReel called it “an absolute treat!”. The album was featured on the Paul Jones BBC Radio 2 show and enjoyed Radio airplay as far afield as the USA.
Blues in Britain magazine said BluesMix are “Up there with the best of the UK Blues scene”.
With a focus on original material the band have a groove oriented approach to the Blues blending with an appeal that typically spans genres. The band have toured the USA, France and also backed leading artists including Amy Winehouse and Jools Holland.
The band will release their 3rd album “Flat Nine” on February 13th and will be playing songs from that album tonight.
BluesMix are regular sellout performers at The Troubadour so early booking is recommended.
