At Moonwake Taproom we are excited to host:

FRIDAY 16TH
19:30-21:30 Tom & Craig Anderson Trio

Craig and Tom Anderson have been performing as a duo and full band lineup for over 30 years. Up front on vocals, Craig Anderson brings the raw sounds of Chicago blues with driven, Sonny Boy Williamson harmonica virtuosity whilst the acoustic guitar of Tom Anderson blends the shuffle rhythms with hints of southern blues, jazz and funk. They’re augmented by long term bass buddy Ed Kelly for one show and stripped back as the duo for the other.

SATURDAY 17TH
16:00-18:00 Hot Tin Roof

Wonderful, wide ranging blues, soul and rock featuring Gavin Jack and Andy Callen playing originals drawing on all the very best of some of the greatest artists around, from Peter Green to John Martyn, from Skip James to J.J. Cale and from Muddy Waters to Gil Scott Heron.

SATURDAY 17TH
19:30-21:30 Funked Up

One of the best blues based experiences around. Featuring the deliciously swampy, blues drenched guitar and playfully soulful vocals of New York expat and genuine quality old school geezer, Danny Lazarski and backed up by the extremely classy, deeply groovy, high quality rhythm team of Rod Kennard and Jamie Graham. This is seriously funky blues you simply can’t find anymore, so good it should be available on the NHS.
