CHICAGO 9

"BLUES IN THE FAST LANE"


**PLEASE VISIT OUR MYSPACE PAGE FOR THE LATEST GIGS,MUSIC, ETC. www.myspace.com/chicago9bluesband THANKS & SEE YOU SOON.

CHICAGO 9 are a Southampton based 4 piece band whose main influence is the

American electric blues of the 1950s and 1960s: Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Otis Rush, Magic Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson, Walters Big & Little, the list goes on.

The band name is taken from the train some of these names undoubtedly caught from Memphis to Chicago during their migration north.

 

Whilst admiring these blues goliaths, the band understand that four English guys (including a singer from oop north) will never sound like them. The aim of the band from day one  was to play the music they love in a way that they felt was true to the spirit of its originators but with their own contemporary brand. The band have achieved this not by rocking it up but with a stripped back sound featuring electric guitar, harmonica, bass and drums and by playing a less obvious mix of covers and original compositions.

 

Do yourself a favour, see them soon!!!!
