Chicago 9 are a southampton uk based 4 piece blues band whose main influence is the electric blues of the 1950s & 1960s Chicago.The bands heros include Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters,Otis Rush,Magic Sam,Sonny Boy Williamson & the list goes on. The band took its name from th train that some of thes names undoubtedly caughtfrom Memphis to Chicago during their migration north.
Whilst admiring these blues goliaths, the band understand that four English guys will never sound like them. The aim of the bandfrom day 1 was to play the music they love in a way that they felt was true to the spirit of its originators but with their own contempory brand. The band has achieved this not by rocking it up but with a stripped back sound featuring electric guitar, harmonica, bass & drums & by playing an exciting mix of covers & original compositions. SEE THEM SOON!!!!!!!!!!! |
