The Rigmarollers pack out shows with their unique take on the blues, having made the leap to festival headliners in the last year. A trio with a massive sound, they put vocals, harmonica, guitar and sousaphone over an irresistible backbeat.
New single The Duke of Rent, out in April, precedes the arrival of the album ‘21st Century Speakeasy Music’ in June.
Harmonica virtuoso Ed Hopwood learnt his craft in acclaimed UK blues bands. Julian Marshall has travelled across America and Europe to play with blues and trad musicians. Ewan Penkey is rightly lauded for his mastery of the sousaphone and bass. Together they blast out an original musical mix, bringing the party everywhere they play.
The Rigmarollers regularly sell out gigs across London and the UK. They have played Sidmouth Jazz & Blues, Fire in the Mountain, The Idler, Bimble Bandada, Purbeck Valley, Ealing Blues, Upton Blues, Leek Blues & Americana, among many festivals. “That was the best performance of the festival. You guys totally nailed it”
“You guys really get it” Robert Hokum, Ealing Blues
“The Rigmarollers were a joy” Bournemouth Echo
“Band of the festival” Jim Bailey, Leek Blues & Americana
“We couldn’t stop dancing” “Best band I’ve seen in years” “Loved your set”
