British Blues Invasion
Inspired by the English musical invasion in the 1960’s, The BRITISH BLUES INVASION takes you back in time when bands like the Yardbirds, Cream, Free, John Mahall’s Blues Band and Fleetwood Mac created a novel British blues sound.
Imagine yourself at London’s premiere live venue, THE MARQUEE, in 1969. New on the scene were Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Paige, Paul Kossoff, Robin Trower, David Gilmore, Ritchie Blackmore, Rory Gallagher and Peter Green.
Featuring John Payne, ex ASIA vocalist/frontman, ELO vocalist and co creator of the number one LAS VEGAS musical, Raiding The Rock Vault, THE BLUES INVASION celebrates those artists and more with old classic British blues favorites, and some new compositions, for a nostalgic set of hard blues.
