He was born in London and moved to Hertfordshire when he was 9. A family friend gave him his first guitar on the condition he’d learn how to play it. At 12 he discovered Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Pride and Joy on Guitar Hero and quickly realised this was the blues. This would send him on a path of education and revelation.
Kaspar went to New Orleans to celebrate turning 18 where he performed in B.B. Kings Blues Club (and was discovered by producer Harold Marcho music producer). Harold invited Kaspar back to the States to record his first single Sailing.
He mostly performs as three piece, Kaspar & The Swamp Dogs. The band (usually) consists of Ian Davidson on bass or cello and Mia Casey on drums or washboard! Ian and Mia also “hold down the bottom end and smash the crap out of the kit” on The Notion. But also goes out as a duo with Ian Davidson on cello (!), or as a solo performer with his trusty Resonator.
Kaspar is writing a new chapter in the history of British blues. More blistering singles and scintillating gigs to follow in the coming months.
