Oli Brown - Open Road

Debut album from a young, fast rising star of the British blues scene. Still only 18 Oli Brown has already been on the road for nearly two years with his own band (Fred Hollis, bass; Simon Dring, drums) during which time they have gigged persistently all over the UK and twice toured in America. Along the way they have supported numerous blues stars such as Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor, Taj Mahal, Walter Trout and John Mayall & His Bluesbreakers. Oli's numerous UK gigs so far this year have included appearances with Buddy Whittington in March, The Fabulous Thunderbirds in April, and supporting Johnny Winter at the London Astoria on 1st May. Further May 2008 gigs include five with Robben Ford.
