Fans of blues rejoice as US and UK artists Watermelon Slim, Heavy Drunk, and Leonardo Guiliani team up for ‘The Delta Blues Experience 2024’ tour this October. The tour will see the three artists play 10 intimate shows across the UK between Oct 2nd to 12th , starting and ending with unforgettable London performances. Multi-award-winning Watermelon Slim was perhaps best summed up by the late Jerry Wexler (coowner Atlantic Records, producer for Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin) who described him as “a one-of-a-kind, pickin’ n singing Okie dynamo”. He is a 2x winner of the Blues Music Award for Band of the Year and Album of the Year, as well as a 2x winner of MOJO Magazine’s no. 1 Blues Album of the Year.Sons of the South soul outfit HeavyDrunk has made waves with their signature raspy vocals and Americana infused sound. Their Mississippi delta blues, powerful gospel, and hard-hitting rock ‘n’ roll energy charged their 2023 album You Don’t Know Me which was released to raise awareness and funds for the crumbling grave of music legend Robert Johnson.
UK based independent musician, guitar player, and singer-songwriter Leonardo Guiliani joins The Delta Blues Experience 2024 fresh off the release of his 2023 album Rogue. Produced by four time Grammy award winner producer Tom Hambridge, Rogue showcases Guiliani’s talents inspired by the acoustic singer-songwriters and electric jam bands of the late ‘60s and the ‘70s.
The Delta Blues Experience is set to be an unforgettable night for blues fans across the country and will not be one to miss.
