One of the original guests at The Jumpin Hot Club, comes north for a special downhome blues night. He’s well overdue.Big Joe Louis is a dynamic performer and one of the busiest musicians in the UK.
Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, he made London his home as a young man and quickly established himself through live shows, soon earning record contracts with the legendary labels Blue Horizon and Ace Records. Acclaimed albums, as well as a string of dancefloor-dynamite 45s in the US and Europe, spread his name and reputation far and wide and he’s taken his music around the world, touring North America, Australasia, Africa, the Caribbean, Russia and virtually every European country.
In addition, he’s recorded, toured and performed with dozens of veteran blues and gospel artistes, both famous and obscure.
Never one to follow the herd, he’s built a strong and distinctive style over the years, writing deep, original and powerfully personal true-life songs and playing guitar in a style all his own. Making a sound you won’t hear anywhere else.
