Hitman Blues Band (USA) 20th Anniversary UK Tour
Sunday 17th November – 5.00pm
The Hitman Blues Band led by New York's Russell 'Hitman' Alexander play original Modern/Alternative blues and inspired versions of blues classics equals “blues for the 21st century”.
Led by New York guitarist Russell ‘Hitman’ Alexander, Hitman has a striking, charismatic personality and knows how to entertain and put on a show. Born to play and with real personality, as he tells stories, jokes with the crowd, proudly features his excellent band and plays a spiky guitar with great panache and soul.
The common thread for every tune is the blues - from soulful blues ballads to foot tappin' music to make you want to dance. Powerful vocals, ripping guitar, a solid rhythm section and stirring backing vocals, plus a little humour in the narrative. This is a blues show like no other.
The Hitman Blues Band consistently get great album reviews and feature in the top of the blues charts around the world. The Hitman Blues Band were nominated and came 2nd in the in 2022 UK Blues Awards for International Blues Artist Of The Year - the winner being from US Christone Kingfish Ingram. They have also been finalists in the Memphis International Blues Challenge. Their latest album 'Hey Can You Guys Play...' has received superb reviews:
And their review of the Tavern:
Hope Tavern, Holton le Moor, Lincolnshire
Since the late 90’s the Hope Tavern transforms from country pub to one of the smallest, unusual – and unlikely – venues on the UK Blues circuit. With a reputation for its unique atmosphere, it has become a magnet for UK and International touring bands. It attracts acts, including several Grammy nominees and recording artists, comparing with the better known metropolitan clubs.
We think of Hope Tavern as one of our “must play” venues – great people, great times, and we’re proud to coming back! Russell Alexander
The show starts at 5.00pm and the door/Ticket price is £15
