A live blues album release show you do not want to miss!
Kirris Riviere and the Delta du Bruit are set to captivate fans and music enthusiasts alike with the release of their long-awaited album on November 10th.
Hailing from the vibrant blues scene in Bristol, this talented band has quickly gained recognition for their soulful sound and electrifying performances.
Led in the live arena by the multi-talented Kirris Riviere, whose impressive skill set includes the stagecraft of an accomplished theatre actor, the vocal delivery of a learned live singer and blues road man, and the songwriting of a professional script writer and author, the band effortlessly blends their diverse musical influences into a unique and compelling sound. Riviere's soulful vocals and dynamic stage presence have earned him a dedicated following, and he is undoubtedly the driving force behind the band's success.
Joining Riviere on this musical journey is Evan Newman, a band leader, producer and gifted songwriter on keys (When not working as a keyboard player in the wider UK blues scene *). Newman's skillful compositions form the foundation of the band's sound, in what is absolutely a collaborative process with the rest of the rhythm section. Between them, their evocative lyrics and vibey arrangements create a highly danceable, authentic and diverse presence that sets them apart from the wider scene.
Bryan Jones, a dark horse of the bass guitar, brings a deep and groovy foundation to the band's music, while Alastair Toms, an accomplished guitarist and director in his own right, adds his fiery and expressive playing style to the mix.
Together, they create a haunting tapestry of sound that will transport listeners to a mysterious and compelling swamp of louisiana blues / R&B.
Pete Warner, a free-flowing live-wire on drums, keeps the band's rhythm fresh and driving, and always fills their performances with his infectious energy. Warner's characteristic drumming skills provide the perfect backbone for the band's popular live shows, always leaving audiences craving more.
Joining The Delta du Bruit on their album and occasionally on the live stage are their esteemed friends from the UK blues scene, Henry Slim (blues harp), Joe Wilkins (lead guitarist of Elles Bailey band), Andrew Neil Hayes (Run Logan Run‘s saxophonist) and not least Jon Amor (lead guitarist from The Hoax).
The release of country blues original “Left Me in the Cold (Railway Tracks)” was an exciting threshold, with the next release, “ The Delta du Bruit '' building readily today for it’s release date on September 15th. This is another side of the band, blending swampy rhythm and blues with a contemporary vocal meter, and gritty old school production.
An exclusive cluster of gigs in South West UK will mark the occasion of the second single release.
