St Harmonica's Blues Club: Hitman Blues Band
Friday 29 October 2021 8.30pm
The Southgate Club, 17 Chase Side, N14 5BP (Entrance is in Crown Lane)
As Halloween approaches, the Hitman is here!
It's finally happening folks. Russell 'Hitman' Alexander from New York City is touring the UK once more and we are so pleased to welcome him back to St Harmonicas Blues Club for his opening show this Friday 29th October. In January 2019 he packed the Southgate Club with a crowd from all over England and as far afield as Glasgow. Get your tickets early to avoid disappointment.
On Friday 29th October his band will comprise mainly US musicians with a 3 piece horn section. The Hitman Blues Band from New York City play original Modern/Alternative Blues and inspired versions of blues classics. The common thread for every tune is the blues - from soulful blues ballads to foot tappin' music to make you want to dance. Powerful vocals, ripping guitar, a rock solid rhythm section, adventurous horns and stirring backing vocals, this is unlike your typical standard blues fare. The Hitman Blues Band, play the blues you’ve been looking for all your life.
Frontman Russell 'Hitman' Alexander has New York City in his veins, blues in his heart, and the music of many worlds in his gifted hands. The man in the shades, top hat and sharp suit on stage with that tight band in that dark club is playing real blues, informed by 50 years of mastery of New York City's thousand styles while imitating no one.
Blues Matters Magazine reviewed his last UK tour:
"Led by New York guitarist Russell 'Hitman' Alexander, Hitman has a striking, charismatic personality and knows how to entertain and put on a show with superb danceable blues and great covers. Born to play and with real personality, as he tells stories, jokes with the crowd, proudly features his excellent band and plays a spiky guitar with great panache and soul. What a find you may think and you’d be right”
