LEAVIN’ TRUNK is the latest exciting venture by five great musicians and entertainers already familiar to many with a working knowledge of the UK blues scene.
Two things unite the music of Leavin’ Trunk: A powerful, funky groove, infused with a scintilla of New Orleans gumbo; and some great tunes - band originals and re-interpretations of wonderful old songs from all sorts of obscure corners of the blues and soul catalogue. We defy you NOT to dance to this band!
Bad Pennies are an established, hard-working blues-rock trio based out of the Medway Delta and Dover area in Kent, UK. Known for their tagline "Top Dollar Rock & Blues—No Short Change & No Dodgy Notes!", they have carved out a reputation as one of the most reliable and high-energy acts on the local pub, club, and festival circuit.
Sparko is taking a trip down memory lane and his new band, Going Back Home, will be playing Rhythm & Blues straight out of Canvey Island.
Twenty eight year old Alex Hamilton (formerly Lewis Hamilton) has been part of the British Blues/Rock scene for over ten years.
