Blackballed + Stevie Jones & The Wildfires

BLACKBALLED Oldham based 3 Piece "Groove Rockers" Blackballed have taken the blues and made their own style. They play it like they mean it but a tongue is always planted firmly in their collective cheeks. Featuring former New Model Army guitarist Marshall Gill with powerhouse backline Tom Wibberley on bass and Alex Whitehead on drums their infectious riifs and grooves are not to be missed. https://blackballed.co.uk/

STEVIE JONES & THE WILDFIRES Stevie Jones and The Wildfires are a well-established Northamptonshire based independent 4 piece who deliver their own unique blend of modern alternative rock centred around powerful acoustic-based songwriting. Their 4th album 'Getting There' is out now. There's a raw alt-folk rock honesty (New Model Army, Levellers) but also a melodic Americana influence in the guitar-led songs (Ryan Adams, Tom Petty). And for those of us proggers, maybe even the slightest element of Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson in some of the more progressive rock moments Spirit Of Progressive Rock https://steviejones.com/stevie-jones-and-the-wildfires
