Blues music is dance music, characterised by joy as well as struggle, infectious and life-affirming.
Here, soul-stirring vocalist Kirris Riviere and his exceptional band bring the night alive with their intoxicating drive and deep grooves. They effortlessly lay claim to their own style of swaggering Louisiana blues, strongly influenced by jazz and old-style R&B, weaving together evocative modern originals with signature vintage songs that pay homage to the legends who paved the way.
With a joyous noise that celebrates good times and details hard ones, their raw, engaging live shows are a testament to the unbreakable juju of the blues.
'Their sound [ is ] a potent elixir of groove and rawness. Takes you on an atmospheric ride that'll echo in your bones long after the last note fades.'

Cotham Club: a brilliant, eclectic monthly live global music club with a passion for community at its core.
Music, with all its subtlety and spirit, has immense power to unite people. It is the universal language of mankind. The sounds of Africa, America, Eurasia, and Oceania have always found a home in Bristol, and there are few better examples of the city's cultural cross-pollination than Cotham Club, a celebration in sound of what unites rather than divides. Each month we showcase some of the most diverse and brilliant musicians from Bristol and beyond, linking audiences to great music and to each other.
'Community-focused gigs welcoming an array of global musicians and gig-goers
of all ages, genders, neurotypes, and ethnicities.'
