The Whisky Drought - Blues from the muddy banks of the Wansbeck
About the Drought
The Whisky Drought is the sound of one man wrestling with the blues in all its forms — from the haunted whispers of the Delta to the roaring crunch of modern electric. Based in North East England, playing the music that moves me, hoping to move you too. I write, perform and produce all my own music. Pulling influence from the greats — Robert Johnson, B.B. King, Freddie King, Albert King — and channeling the fire of Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Slash.
The Whisky Drought is about chasing that restless feeling, the one that drives a rambling soul through late nights, heavy feelings, single malts, and the kind of songs that bleed honesty.
The debut release, Rambling Through Bluebell Woods, arrives September 26th on all streaming platforms and as a digital download from this website.
