The Bourbon Street Revival

BOURBON STREET REVIVAL

London's hottest Rhythm & Blues Band




Latest news:
The recording jinx strikes again as yet another studio calls off just as we get ready to start laying down the tracks.  How will we get the album to the top of the charts for Christmas at this rate?

St George's day saw another great night at
The Willoughby Arms, Kingston.  The new songs went down a treat, and the acoustic set was a huge success. Expect to see more of this in the future.

WELCOME   to Bourbon Street Revival.

BSR is an eight-piece band playing a variety of Blues and Blues-based music spanning the history of the genre.  With a line up of multi-talented artists the sound can change through  guitar-based 12 bar to Chicago brass-backed Blues, to contemporary electronic via Soul and R&B. 

BSR play
a growing repertoire of their own material blended with a mix of less well known covers.  Playing mainly in South-West London and Surrey, they are based at the home of the Blues, the Willoughby Arms in Norbiton, where they are resident band.


2009 GIGS
 
20 June (Saturday)  
Wimbledon College.    We love these people and they love us.  Green room, food and drinks provided, and a great audience as well.  My how you love to dance!  Thanks also to the loyal fans who turned up again.


This is what they said:
"We all had a fantastic time...everyone was on the dance floor singing along.... the guys did a wonderful job, and you were all so professional. THANK YOU so much."


"An absolutely fantastic blues band, The Bourbon Street Revival all but brought the house down in front of a privileged few at the club. Quite why we were not packed out was beyond anyone's ability to comprehend but those that made it there were richly rewarded for making the effort and rocked the night away."



ALBUM:  
The band start recording in May.  Studios are now being finalised.  The latest  new track from the forthcoming album was  played for the first time
for Alabama 3 at Jamm in December.  "Message" takes BSR in a new direction with its insistent dance beat.  



A Demo CD is available - use the e-mail address below to get a copy.   Many thanks to Nathan King for doing the technical stuff.
