Great to welcome Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion back to St Harmonica’s this Friday, 27th March. Highly recommended by our resident film maker Mark Hawkins, who will be filming this Friday's performance, their last run out here in 2024 was really well received.
Together with her guitarist and partner Rob Koral the full band make the journey up from the South Coast on Friday to entertain us once more.
Vibrant and melodic, funky rocking blues featuring Hammond-organ, drums, guitar, bass and vocals. Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion refresh the blues genre with eclectic arrangements, virtuosic playing and vocal prowess. Expect an exciting live set based around rootsy original songs, strong catchy riffs and exciting grooves; they mix old school tradition with contemporary verve and sophistication, they bring massive musical authority and the ability to push the music in unpredictable and exciting directions.
“A great band. Terrific musicians” - Paul Jones, BBC Radio 2
“Joyfull…….and so good. Great songs” - Cerys Matthews The Blues Show Radio 2
“A masterclass in blues storytelling. Zoe’s voice moved effortlessly from intimate whisper to… full-bodied blues powerhouse.” - Blues in Britain magazine, February 2025
We’re also delighted with the support act this Friday.. Marcia Mello, sends a few months of the year in the UK before returning to her native Massachusetts so we are very pleased to have her perform this week.
Marcia will play from 8.30 followed by two sets from Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion starting just after 9.00pm.
