John Peel OBE, 1939 - 2004
Studebaker John - Chicago Blues Legend
"Unplugged”
The
Gregson Centre, Moor Lane, Lancaster
Wednesday 3rd
August 2005
The Gregson
was once again treated to a one-off
performance by American bluesman ‘Studebaker John’, as he performed an acoustic
set with piano man Boogie Bill Roberts. John is a
superb exponent of the vintage sounds of Chicago in the golden age of the '50's
on guitar and harmonica with a voice to match, whilst making his own mark on the
genre with his timeless compositions.
John is on tour in the UK which revolves around his appearances at two major blues festivals with his band ‘Studebaker John & The Hawks’, following the success of previous headline spots at Colne Blues Festival and a UK tour with Louisiana blues giant ‘Lazy Lester’ earlier this year.
Bill put the event together in collaboration with tour promoter Des Demain and the Gregson Centre, said of the event ”This was a great opportunity to see such a major player in a setting as perfectly suited as the Gregson".
