With their own interpretations of these ground-breaking songs - and an impressive repertoire of bouncing blues and jumpin’ jazz - the three-piece can seamlessly move from moments of raw beauty to toe-tapping dance breaks within the blink of an eye. Fans can not only expect songs by musical pioneers such as Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, but also the music by those that were influenced by such artists – often moving into the 60s and 70s with the music of Dr John, Taj Mahal, Tom Waits and Little Feat.
