Formed in 2012, Strange Blues have earned a reputation as a blistering live act, gigging steadily around the East Midlands and supporting the likes of Mick Pini, Sally Barker among others.

Strange Blues have toured 3 years running as Mick Pini’s band in the UK and have released an EP together as a result of these tours.

We started off performing classic Blues Rock tunes from Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, Cream,  Freddie King, BB King, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan,

Robert Cray,John Mayall, John Lee Hooker and more.

More recently and with the benefits of the longest lockdown in the country,the  original blues tunes penned by Simon Gilroy  became a feature. These now sit nicely alongside  the classic artists.

 

Highly acclaimed among their peers and audiences alike, members of Strange Blues are all veterans of the Leicester music scene .
