About this show

Award-winning band The Blueswater perform five raucous gigs in Edinburgh's best live music venue, The Jazz Bar. Influenced by gritty, old-school rhythm and blues, the band blends the Chicago sound of Chess records with the earthy, droning grooves of Mississippi to create a style that is truly unique. Thick guitar riffs and frenzied harmonica solos are built around driving rhythms to create raucous, high-energy performances. Expect a wild party. * (ThreeWeeks). 'Wonderful' (Clare Cavanaugh, BBC). 'Definitely a band to watch' (Blues in Britain).
