Martin Harley - Solo
2027-01-14 19:00 - 23:00
Martin Harley

Martin Harley created a deep impression on the acoustic blues roots and Americana scene but these days he takes county blues riffs to the electric bottleneck slide guitar, served up with sweet vocal harmonies over the driving rhythms.
If success can be measured by growing global demand to attend Martin’s dynamic live performances then perhaps his touring schedule is proof of that.
Martin has been making music and touring the world for over two decades. His sound has never been more down to earth. Exploring roots, blues and slide guitar in a style The Guardian referred to as ‘Spellbinding’.
He has released eight albums to date, four recorded on home soil and four across the Atlantic in Texas and Nashville.

Robert J Hunter
2027-02-04 19:00 - 23:00
Robert J Hunter

Alderney-born Robert J. Hunter is taking the blues and Americana scene by storm. Armed with a gruff, powerful voice and the wild thud of an overdriven, foot-stomping guitar, he delivers a raw and soulful sound that is unmistakably his own.
His evocative songwriting takes listeners on an emotional and deeply personal journey.
Extensive touring across the UK and Europe has turned the band into a road-worn, well-oiled machine – super-tight, fiercely dynamic and impossible to ignore. Their genre-bending blend of blues, rock ’n’ roll and Americana continues to win new fans and captivate audiences with every show.
His new album is Here to Stay
With grit, heart and undeniable authenticity, Robert J. Hunter stands as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary blues and Americana.

Buddy King and The mOOn Dogs
Don’t miss a powerful night of blues rock under the moon

Our old friend Derik Timms will be back in action.
Buddy King & The MoonDogs are bringing a Night of Soulful Blues Rock to The Blues Bar Tring.
Let the raw power of Buddy King’s guitar and vocals, the solid groove of John Gordon on bass, Graham Walker’s driving drums, and the masterful keys of Steve Oakman (standing in for Richard Cottle) sweep you away. Their blend of soulful blues, rock grit, and Americana storytelling creates an unforgettable live experience. We might even coax Jeff Savage up to join in on Blues Harp.
The band members have collaborated with notable artists such as Albert Lee, Mick Jagger, George Harrison, Pop Staples, Albert King, Gary Moore, Wanda Jackson, Kiki Dee, David Bowie, and many more.
Catch the vibe – watch them perform one of the Dogs original songs here ”Everything”

The Bluescasters
2027-08-05 19:00 - 23:00
The Bluescasters Surrey’s Premier Blues Band.
A fabulous mix of Muddy Waters, B.B.King, Keb Mo, Eric Bibb, J.J. Cale, Jimmy Rogers and some originals.
Originally formed in 2014 by school friends, Rob Walters & Nick Powell, the Bluescasters soon established themselves as one of the “must see” circuit bands. However, in 2020 the band tragically lost Nick, one of the bands founders to Covid 19. The band took time that year to reflect and eventually Rob reformed the band with some seasoned old musical friends who are now taking the band onto the next level.
Nick Hyde – Guitar & Vocals
Rob Walters – Bass & Vocals
Janos Bajtala – piano & Hammond
Stuart James – Drums
Keeping much of the band’s original material, they have added a few excellent song choices to complement and further enhance the bands repertoire.

The James Oliver Band featuring Norman Watt-Roy
After a crackin’ show last year, we’ve persuaded James and his band to come back!!
“He’s regarded as a force of nature in his native Wales, an R&B icon in Sweden, and a guitar hero to his social media fans” – Blues in Britain Magazine
James Oliver is one of the UK’s busiest acts playing over 300 gigs a year (sometimes two gigs in one day) all over the UK, Europe, and the USA!
James has won the UK Blues Awards Emerging Artist of the Year and has been nominated an additional three times.
His contemporary’s say it all
“James is a passionate roots rocker loaded with guitar firepower.” – Bill Kirchen – guitar legend
“If you want to see energy times 10 with the greasiest of rockabilly fire and flair, this is the guy to see!” – Redd Volkaert (Grammy Award winning guitarist for Merle Haggard)
“James Oliver wields the Telecaster with extreme aplomb and is highly entertaining to boot.” – Greg Koch (Guitar legend)
“An incredibly inventive and exciting guitarist” – Music Republic Magazine
The Frantic album is available. Maybe he’ll have a new one before coming back to Tring
