“'Ruzz Guitar's Blues Revue' - A new powerful, Soul injected Blues/R'n'B/Rock'n'Roll band hailing from Bristol UK and lead by Gretsch wielding guitarist Ruzz Guitar. After taking inspiration from many great guitarists such as Wilko Johnson, Brian Setzer, Jim Heath and Jimmie Vaughan, Ruzz has developed what he has learnt into his own style which is quickly becoming recognized around the UK and Europe.”

“There are songs that audiences will know and some they might not all chosen and played because they have a solid groove for dancing and a positive message. Popular classics, choice soul selections, forgotten gems from defunct record labels, obscure 1940s jump-blues tracks and bawdy swing numbers with thinly veiled references to'relations'. There's a bit of country rock, and a bit of Ska too - Something for everyone probably!”

“A curious musical place where elements of early nineteenth century Berlin Cabaret, Hot Club de France, Nuevo Tango & Gypsy Campfire meet, have a few to drink and stagger arm in arm into the darkness of some eastern European cobbled street on a mission to find the bar where Django Reinhardt & Tom Waits are having an after hours jam with the local Tziganes.”
