The Simon Kennedy Band To Play Online Gig
The Simon Kennedy Band will play an online gig on 7th February 2015 at 8pm via StageIt.com.
The Simon Kennedy Band is a blues band that feels the funk 'n' groove! The four guys are a solid unit with each man bringing equal amounts of fiery expression and feel to the stage.
The band's debut album, 'Make Up Your Mind', which was released last November, received raved reviews.
Born in Dundee, Scotland in 1981, Simon Kennedy grew up hearing great music through his Dad's vinyl collection. It was also on his Dad's acoustic guitar that he began his musical journey preferring the sounds of Hendrix and Cream than the music of his contemporaries.
As he delved deeper into the music of the past, the three Kings, Freddie, Albert and B.B., inspired him to explore the blues more deeply. By his mid twenties he'd joined his first blues band playing festivals all over the UK including Maryport, Edinburgh and Dundee with a personal highlight supporting The Animals at Jools Holland's bar in Edinburgh.
After joining other local blues bands and doing session work for others, Simon eventually decided to start his own band in 2014 enlisting the help of some of the area's most talented musicians.
