Dustbowl Blues with a Glasgow Kick : John Alexander
18 August 2011 at 9:00pmat St Bride's Centre
Alexander's strong songwriting, riff-driven guitar work and rich vocals combine to create a fine blend of folk-blues and country music. With influences by the likes of Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Bob Dylan, and John Martyn, prepare to take a soul-grasping musical journey from lonesome desert highways to the Mississippi Delta, calling in at the shipyards of his Glasgow home.
'Think Robert Johnson by way of Mark Knopfler but with a bit of west-coast, post-industrial grit in its throat ... emphasising mood over melody ... Just how the blues should be.' (Sunday Herald)
PLEASE NOTE: This event takes place at the Acoustic Music Centre @ St Bride's Centre, Orwell Terrace, Edinburgh, EH11 2DZ.
