Slowburner – Blues / Blues Rock at Joe Joe Jims, Birmingham
About the show
On Friday 14th August legendary Worcestershire blues/blues-rock 4-piece Slowburner are back in business and hitting the JJJ stage.
Originally formed in 1987, never compromising their blues soaked rock sound and style, the band play real rhythm and blues in the style of Free, Zepp, Pie, Gallagher etc. With a live reputation that is second to none the list of acts they have supported reads like a who's who of rock and blues...Peter Green, Humble Pie, Stan Webb, Thunder, Mick Taylor, Wishbone Ash, Pat Travers, Bernie Marsden, Magnum, Andy Fraser, Budgie, Maggie Bell, Mountain, Dr Feelgood, Ian Gillan, Steve Gibbons, Groundhogs, Mick Ralphs, Robert Plant (so impressed that he has joined them onstage on no less than three separate occasions).
And speaking of Mr. Plant, he once said of Slowburner: "Great band and Paul Bridgwater is a great singer who continues the tradition of British blues soul singers" ... and praise don't come higher than that!
