BLUES guitar maestro Steve French takes you on whirlwind tour to hear the immortal licks of guitar legends from all over the world - all in one night. With his exquisite, fluent runs, Steve leaves audiences marvelling at his accuracy and phrasing. But he also knows when to back off and avoid overdoing it, too. Steve's powerful, yet soulful playing reflects his passion for the music. His wide-ranging musical influences extend from Jimi Hendrix to Freddie King.

Sheena (formerly of The Frank White Band) is a respected drummer and drum tutor especially in the blues genre. Her playing commands attention from all audiences regardless of musical preferences. Sheena's drumming is phenomenal; thunderous, fluid, yet precise. She is the backbone of the band and instinctively knows where the music is going. And check out her Chicago Shuffle.

Paul's love of the low frequencies started when he was 13. A classically trained double bass player he has performed in orchestras and swing bands throughout the UK and Europe before moving on to the joys of jazz, soul, funk and rock. Paul has honed his technique over many years to develop a unique and recognisably smooth sound, providing the valuable sonic foundation which can now be heard in The Steve French Band's live and recorded work. As an accomplished session musician and producer Paul has also performed on and produced many recordings for independent artists, and has championed the music of unsigned bands and artists through his "Unsigned Heroes" radio shows.
