This one is a little bit different. We aren't linking you to their latest track... yet... but instead introducing you to a new band, telling you a bit about them and building a hype for them.
Big River's mission is to keep the spirit & passion of British Blues / Rock Bands such as Free & Bad Company alive but with the modern influence of artists such as Rival Sons, Chris Stapleton, Vintage Trouble and Clutch. They do their own thing, they don’t follow trends and they’re known for playing passionate, heart wrenching performances at every show, always leaving the audience wanting just that bit more sweat from their brows.
Since forming in 2016 Big River have notched up some serious live performances & have been chosen to open for bands including; Cats in Space, Kip Winger, Burning Rain, Little Caesar, John Corabi, Marco Mendoza, Kris Barras, Frankie Millers Fullhouse, Dave ‘Bucket’ Colwell and many more...
They have played prestigious Festivals & venues such as Cambridge Rock Festival, London 100 Club, Camden Underworld, Half Moon Putney, Black Heart Camden.
Their debut album “Redemption” released in August 2019 received astounding reviews, being played on Radio Stations all over the world & making the Top 20 in The Netherlands Rock Chart as well as regularly featuring on Top 20 playlists on Radio and digital platforms.
In early 2021 Adam Barron (The Voice finalist / Mick Ralphs Blues Band) joined as the band new vocalist.
Adam says;
“I’ve known the band for a few years and always loved their sound so I didn’t think twice when they asked me to join. The music they play is right up my street and I can add definitely add something to it. Rehearsals are feeling and sounding great, I can’t wait to get on a stage and make some noise in front of people!”
The band have also recently signed a distribution deal with Sony / Universal via Levelheaded Records and are being represented by RafterMarsh who are one of the biggest names in the industry for Music & Entertainment Law.
Big River are getting ready for a handful of select live shows in 2021, writing & recording brand new songs for a second album and a new single to accompany their Summer Festival dates.
A Teenage Cancer Trust charity single will also be released where they will be collaborating with some well known names in the business, legendary producer Mike Bennett will be at the helm.
