Tonight (September 8) Jon Walsh will be live at Bletchley Blues Club.
He will be joined by Brian Troup on double bass.
Jon is an exceptional solo acoustic /slide guitarist and singer. He will be bringing with him Brian Throup with his double bass. He has played with various jazz acts such as Sweet Music, Blue Indigo and The Andy Kennedy Quartet.
Jon’s style covers a broad spectrum of acoustic blues ranging from delta slide on Dobro and National guitars and Atlanta slide on twelve string guitar, through to folk, country, Piedmont, Gospel and contemporary blues picked on six string flat tops. Jon’s singing style can be passionate, emotive and aggressive at times but can also be soul-searching and introspective.
Jon feels that it is a bluesman’s obligation to keep the blues alive by performing the classics of days gone by and also to keep adding to the blues by contributing new songs to the genre. So his set will include a number of self-penned songs, which are in many ways personal in that they often tell of his own feelings and experiences.
Admission is £10. Doors open at 7pm. John will start at 8:30pm.
