BD Lenz Quartet Wednesday 16th April 2025
We are very excited to announce that our good friend, US guitarist B.D. Lenz is back! He will perform at Smokey Joe's as part of his Spring UK Tour...and we can't wait!
B.D. Lenz is a prolific recording artist with 13 highly acclaimed albums under his belt featuring incredible original pieces recorded with an array of top musicians including, most recently guitarist Mike Stern and trumpeter Randy Brecker. His style of playing was celebrated by New York Times where it stated: "Part of the reason for his accessibility is that he not only fuses jazz and rock, he complements it with warm chords of funk, soul, and rhythm and blues." Mix together the styles of Pat Metheny, Mike Stern, and Stevie Ray Vaughn and you have the recipe for contempo-jazz guitarist B.D. Lenz. The New Jersey native has played guitar since his early teens, is a graduate of Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, and has studied with such masters as Mike Stern, Vic Juris, and Charlie Banacos along the way.
Returning to Smokey Joe's by popular demand, this special night is sure to be full of energy, emotion and some serious heart and soul playing. And, as if that's not enough, the band line up for this very special night features some of the UK's finest musicians:
