Are You Experienced? The Jimi Hendrix Tribute.
Are You Experienced? are now in their 27th. year together, and in that time have firmly established themselves as the premier Hendrix tribute in Europe, having headlined festivals in Brazil, Barbados, Rhodes as well as appearing at in Holland, Germany and Sweden. Founder member John Campbell has also appeared on TV shows in his Hendrix persona and bears more than a passing resemblance to the iconic guitarist.
The band were joined by Phil Carter on drums in late 2019.
Unfortunate timing, as we all know 2020 and most of 2021 has not been a good year for live music. Phil, came to the band highly recommended and it’s easy to see why. A long time Hendrix fan, he has brought a fresh energy to the band. In 2014 Jimi Hendrix's younger brother came over to the UK for a series of gigs, John Campbell was picked out to play with his band, during that time
they became friends, and when Leon came over for his Jimi Hendrix Golden Anniversary tour in September 2016 he invited John Campbell and the rest of Are You Experienced? to join him as his band for the tour.
In 2018 the band appeared yet again on Leon’s latest theatre tour of the UK. Are You Experienced? opened The Isle of Wight Festival 2021 to mark the 50 year anniversary of Jimi Hendrix appearing there. (Albeit, a year late due to Government restrictions!) Are You Experienced? enjoy bringing the music of Hendrix to a new and
eager audience as well as those that remember him the first time around.
