Carvin Jones
8.45pm
This will be a standing gig. |
We were amazed at the
response when Carvin opened for Walter Trout
for us in Newcastle last October. He is described
as a 'showman' and he's certainly that. If there
are any tricks in the guitar players book, this
guy has them all. The Trout support gig was
played at a million miles and hour as Carvin
treated us to just about every gimmick he knows.
In his own gig however there will be more light
and shade and a better opportunity for us to
appreciate Carvin's undoubted mastery of the
guitar.
Voted into
the Top 50 all time blues rock guitarists by
Guitarist Magazine and championed by Eric
Clapton as “The next up and coming
blues rock player”, Texan born, but
Arizona domiciled Carvin Jones is the man of the
moment.
A stunning
guitarist, showman and innovator, Carvin is as
close as you’ll get to experiencing Hendrix in
the flesh.
“Carvin plays so hard it hurts”
Buddy Guy
Voted Top
guitarist for three years running in Arizona,
the Phoenix Thunderbolt is one of the most
exciting performers of his generation. Whether
playing two guitars at once, standing upside
down, or bunny hopping across the stage, you
will never forget a Carvin Jones show!
Since
opening for the likes of Johnny Winter
and Carlos Santana on the west Coast,
Carvin Jones finally broke big after a cable
TV show franchised “The Carvin Jones Show”
across several sates in the US. He quickly hit
Europe and five years later the Rock-Blues world
has never been the same.
The crowds
flocked to see him, music celebs quickly
followed ranging from members of Thin Lizzy
to Iron Maiden, Ten Years After and Jimmy
Vaughan.
The live
show neatly captured by the recent “King of
Spain” DVD is a fiery mix of Hendrix, Freddie
King inspired rock blues, Texas shuffles and
Carvin own scintillating guitar runs, described
by Bob Bonsey in Blues matters as “The fastest
cat in the west. You’ve just been Carvinated”!!
In The UK,
Carvin has headlined both the 2006 Colne
International Rock & Blues Festival and
similarly headlined both 2006 and 2007 Skegness
Rock & Blues Festival – the latter of which was
filmed for a 2007 DVD release.
It is very
rare for a contemporary blues artist to be
truthfully described as unique, but this
incredible guitar slinger is out on his own.
With a new album and a full UK tour, the
Carvin Jones experience will be coming to a
venue near you.

After the gig
....
We did you warn you. It
was an amazing gig that blew us all away.
Carvin
was firing on all cylinders and gave us a show
not to forget. He's not only fast, he's got
skill. He does a couple of Hendrix numbers, but
he's no tribute.
Carvin
Jones is a rare and genuine genius of the
guitar. In among all the tricks is a very
passionate musician who clearly loves what he
does.
Looking at the audience
there were quite a few open mouthed stares of
amazement and lots of very happy smiles.
We hope to get Carvin back
in October, don't miss him this time! |
