Hokie Joint are an exciting band with their own brand of raw blues-based music. The difficult task of writing blues with a catchy chorus is something that they revel in. Harking back to the club scene of the sixties but with a distinctively original modern approach, their sound is fresh, vibrant and appealing. On the one hand we’re talking part Waits, part Wolf vocals, fuzzing slide guitar, dirty harmonica, driving bass and train-like drumming. On the other hand it’s gut-wrenchingly emotional vocals, melancholic guitar playing, sweeping harmonica, well-constructed, melodic bass and intricate, mesmerising drumming. Their line-up consists of the charismatic singer JoJo Burgess who provides an expressive visual performance, along with a voice that compels you to listen to his devilish tones. Joel Fisk’s enthralling guitar playing casts a spell that is impossible to resist. Stephen Cutmore, on drums, drives his rhythmic steam train through it all, pulling more faces than Frankie Howerd on acid! Rob ‘Tank’ Barry perceptive bass lines let you know that this train isn’t ever going to get derailed, and Giles King (surely Britain’s best harp player), with his exquisite harmonica solos, makes this one journey you never want to stop".
Back in the Club after 13yrs, don’t miss this gig.
