Daddy Long Legs hit Benelux starting TOMORROW!
Wed 29 Apr 2015From the esteemed Norton Records label comes one of the wildest and most exciting groups of the current roots and blues revolution. Daddy Long Legs -named for its harp-blowing, blues-bellowing frontman, is a blues hollerer who blurs any definition by age or color. He growls, barks, yelps, and wails without sounding like an imitation of anyone or anything. This is simply pull-the-cord-and-let-the-snot-fly blues.
His partners in crime are cut from the same sweat-and-whiskey-soaked cloth. Guitarist Murat Akturk cranks out everything from powerhouse country blues rhythms to slinky-assed multi-stringed slide riffs that bump and grind up against Daddy Long Legs’ harp. Drummer/percussionist Josh Styles keeps it simple and right on, sometimes locking in with his bandmates for a triple-punch deep-as-Hell-itself groove; other times head-down and leading the charge himself, slamming shovelfuls of coal into the beast. THIS WEEKEND Daddy Long Legs are over for THREE shows in Belgium and The Netherlands:
01-05-2015: Lessines (BE) @ Roots & Roses Festival
02-05-2015: Ospel (NL) @ Moulin Blues
02-05-2015: Groningen (NL) @ Rhythm & Blues Night
