St Harmonica's Blues Club: Big Dez

Friday 16 June 2023 8.30pm

The Southgate Club, 17 Chase Side, N14 5BP (Entrance is in Crown Lane)

202306 big dez

It has been nearly two years since we had the pleasure of France-based bluesman Big Dez play for us at St Harmonica’s. Phil Fernandez has been treading the boards for over 25 years across Europe and North America, mixing soulful, funky blues with traditional foot tappin’ blues grooves and rock ‘n’ roll.

Big Dez has recently returned from the US where he's been playing at Chicago blues clubs, including Buddy Guy's Legends Club, followed by dates on the East Coast and down south at the renowned Texas music capital in Austin and clubs in Dallas. He brings his French musicians with him on this tour, and we really can’t wait to hear those guitar licks again. Blues Revue magazine USA said about him:

“Fernandez is heavily influenced by Albert Collins and Chicago blues; Fernandez’s slashing guitar combines Albert Collins’ icy tension with Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson¹s metallic crunch, and vocals like Omar Kent Dykes”

Support comes from Mike Fuke and his Blues Direction trio, very well received at their previous appearance at St Harmonica's a little while ago.

Support act at 8.30pm followed by two sets from the main act starting around 9.15pm.

Admission is free to card-holding St Harmonica’s Blues Club Members (membership costs just £10 for the year), otherwise £10 on the door. The hat is passed around to pay for the musicians.

See you soon,

Dave, Simon, & John
