The Climax Blues Band

For over five decades, Climax Blues Band has stood as a cornerstone of British music, crafting an unmistakable sound that blends deep-rooted tradition with progressive musicianship. Their international breakthrough Couldn't Get It Right, featuring the distinctive voice of Colin Cooper, soared to #3 on the US Billboard charts and remains a radio staple today. Albums like FM Live and Gold Plated cemented their reputation for both artistic integrity and commercial success.
Following the passing of Colin Cooper in 2008, the band's lead vocalist and driving force since their inception, Climax Blues Band continues the journey forward with his explicit blessing. Long-standing keyboardist George Glover leads the ensemble, with lead vocalist Scott Ralph bringing sophisticated songcraft, commanding stage presence, and a unique dimension to the band's sound through his trumpet playing. The exemplary musicianship of stellar saxophonist Chris 'Beebe' Aldridge and the equally formidable, soulful guitar of Dan Machin pay homage to the legacy established by founding guitarist Peter Haycock and his successor Lester Hunt, who brilliantly held the guitar position from 1985. Anchoring the sound with over three decades of groove-making history together are the masterful rhythm section of Neil Simpson on bass and Roy Adams on drums the bedrock that has propelled the band's evolution through changing musical landscapes.
Aside from continuing to tour Europe and the U.S., their latest work, Hands of Time, achieved critical and commercial acclaim, and the band is now crafting their next studio album. With a set that honours their rich history and classic tracks, the band will also be performing new songs from the upcoming album. Expect blues with touches of funk, jazz, and soul - all delivered with that unmistakable Climax Blues Band sound.
