The Big Blues Tribe is a triumph of musicianship and enthusiasm over practicality and logic. In a world where bands are getting smaller to eke out a living, The Big Blues Tribe is a full nine piece blues band packed with highly skilled

musicians.

 

Combining musical quality with a real sense

of fun and 100% commitment to playing the

blues this is a band which plans to put

everything on stage creating great musical

moments and events.

 

Brass - we’ve got it in spades, Voices - we’re

inundated with ‘em, plus a really strong rhythm

section - and all based around a wide range

of blues-based music that swings along at a

real lick.

 

Fronted by top blues vocalist Oliver Carpenter and featuring excellent musicians from across the Midlands on every stand (see our MEET THE BAND page), The Big Blues Tribe plays the music of people like BB King, Ray Charles and some of the old blues stalwarts in its own inimitable style.

 

Already The Big Blues Tribe has been booked at top Midlands venues like Cox’s Yard, Stratford-upon-Avon; The Marrs Bar, Worcester; Tubby Blues Club, Cheltenham; Blues at the Lamp, Dudley. The band also had a full schedule of festivals in 2007 and the ‘Summer of 2008’ (see NEWS page for details) and is causing a stir in the press everywhere it plays (see PRESS CUTTINGS page).
