 A tough and howlin’ harmonica-led three piece from South London, with a sound from Mississippi to New Orleans to Mali to Canvey Island. Signed to Lunaria Records, they are touring to promote their latest album, First and Last Stop. 

​

After their initial independent album hit the UK top 20 in 2019, they have gone onto have three further top 3 UK albums on Lunaria including their most recent #1 in the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association charts after they made the album their pick of the month. They also charted #1 most played UK act in the international Roots Music Report charts for three straight weeks and had a top 10 US placing in the Contemporary Blues charts . 

​

A very experienced gigging band, they have played with the likes of Grammy Award winner Cedric Burnside, the B.B. King Band and Billboard #1 band GA-20, graced festivals and venues across the UK including Red Rooster and the 100 Club.
