About this Event

Award-winning Blues-Rock guitarist Ross Harding joins us on Chapter 1 of ‘The Blood & The Blues’ 2024/2025 UK Tour, which sees him taking his darker bluesy rock & roll sound throughout the UK in 2024 and 2025.

No Ross Harding live show is alike, with his musical skills and versatility being showcased in three unique formats: Solo Acoustic, Acoustic “Unplugged Band” and Electric Band. Much like John Mayer’s 2008 release ‘Where The Light Is: Live In Los Angeles’, this approach allows people to fully experience Ross Harding’s songwriting, guitar talents and captivating stage presence.

Speaking about the tour, Ross Harding enthuses: “I am absolutely thrilled to be starting my first official tour in the UK since moving here in March 2024. The UK has been really welcoming so far, and I am keen to share my darker bluesy rock & roll with everyone.”

An electric blues rock/hard rock musical experience, where, with an excellent band, Ross Harding performs original songs with one or two renditions of cover songs that have been greatly influential in his music. An unapologetic rock & roll experience for audiences who love high energy music, with interludes of slow blues and emotive musical mastery.For fans of high energy rock & roll, blues rock, and artists like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Joe Bonamassa, Glenn Hughes/Black Country Communion, Slash and Myles Kennedy.

Ross has already hit the ground running on the UK live circuit opening for fellow blues-rock artist Dan Patlansky at Oran Mor in Glasgow, Scotland and The Cluny, Newcastle in April 2024.This was then followed by more solo acoustic performances supporting Rising American roots rock band Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast on their first headline UK Tour at The 1865 in Southampton.

He has also released the single ‘A Thousand Snakes (Deluxe Version)’ which is a stripped-back acoustic version of the track. It has already received US radio airplay and has been helping secure coverage from a variety of music publications and shows including Rock The Joint Magazine, The Edward Fowler Show, The Guildford Dragon and Rambling Man Writings amongst others.Ross Harding is an acclaimed Blues Rock Musician from Johannesburg, South Africa, currently based in the UK.

As a songwriter and performing artist, he personifies rich, powerful vocal abilities with mesmerizing guitar skills, gaining international industry recognition for his commanding blend of blues and rock music, reminiscent of the classic rock, grunge & blues artists of the past.A prolific performing artist, his versatile stage performances range from a deeply soulful solo acoustic artist to a high energy blues rocker, whose experience is that of an artist much older than he.

A seasoned touring musician, he has played hundreds of shows in clubs, festivals, and notable venues in his decade-long professional career. Ross Harding continues to push boundaries in his redefining approach to the blues rock genre.

…a remarkable dark and moving depth…an experience that starts with his cracked, soulful and incredibly emotive voice which has a surprising turn of range to it…With a crisp and clear production, the subtleties of guitar and vocals are beautifully balanced…sometimes you just need to go back to your musical roots, and it’s rather fantastic that it’s taken a gentleman half my age to remind me of that fact.” – SIMON BLACK (United Kingdom)

Support comes from Milton Keynes-based Breaker, making their Elysium debut.
