Quinn Sullivan — All Around The World
Singer-songwriter and guitarist Quinn Sullivan first appeared on our radar in 2015 when he was opening for the legendary Buddy Guy at Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, London, United Kingdom. The crowd was absolutely blown away with his immense guitar skills and his catchy songs including ‘Midnight Highway’. Buddy told the audience “Someone should give this kid a record deal!” and sure enough Provogue Records/Mascot Label Group did.
Read MoreReese Wynans & Friends -Sweet Release
Keys man of choice for many great artists, Wynans in conversation seems softly chuffed with having his own album out. On it he mixes styles, tempo’s and instrumentation and to be frank listening to it you might not assume it was a keys player’s oeuvre..which is my way of saying you will likely just enjoy the tunes and performances.

Read MoreSupersonic Blues Machine – Californisoul
This second SBM release consolidates their reputation as a recording outfit of great skill and versatility and the group has undoubtedly benefited from recent live forays. Totally at ease in the company of any musician, the trio put everyone’s contribution in a great dynamic setting and this means each track has its own atmosphere. No wonder that star artists queue to get into the studio with these chaps.

Read MoreSimo – Rise & Shine
‘Rise & Shine’ …a phrase I heard many a time from my late father, too early in the morning ! But his military background as a Sergeant Major never left him, we his hapless offspring his platoon…but the phrase also heralds the return of funky psych-rock trio from Nashville.
