Ben Waters is widely acknowledged as one of the most exciting boogie woogie piano players in Europe today, with his live shows being compared to Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimi Hendrix and Little Richard (who he is supporting in Vienna this autumn). Alongside Chris Jagger, he’s also supporting Chuck Berry in Europe this summer so he’s certainly been getting his rock’n’roll apprenticeship! With raunchy vocals and an exuberant playing style, Ben is a big star in the making.

One of the most original, innovative and exciting bands around, their combination of gutsy slide guitar, rock-solid bass, infectious grooves and highly distinctive vocals, creates a sound that is uniquely their own.
They take you on a journey, from southern juke-joints and lazy front porches to the huge open spaces of dust bowls and railroad tracks disappearing into the distance…
