THE Cadillac Kings pull up to Basingstoke Blues Club in style on Saturday.
The group formed in 2000, around London, from a group of experienced musicians whose CVs included the James Hunter Band, Otis Grand’s Band, Paul Lamb’s Kingsnakes and Big Joe Louis’ Band.
Six months later they released their debut CD, Lou Ann. It was picked up right away by radio stations across the world and earned the band a place as finalists in the 2001 UK best new blues band awards.
From the very outset, The Cadillac Kings became firm favourites on the blues and jump-jive scenes.
With stunning musicianship and an exciting stage act, this band knows how to entertain audiences across the board.
The founder member of the band is vocalist and songwriter Mike Thomas, who writes nearly all the band’s material, combining the sounds and styles of 1940s and ‘50s R ‘n’ B with an unerring 21st century wit.
Hear The Cadillac Kings at the Moose Centre, Churchill Way, on Saturday, February 7.
Admission costs £8. Doors open at 7.30pm - be there by 8pm for a comfy seat.
