Event information

Lightnin' Willie & the Poorboys are an exciting, popular American blues band. The revered group have released a total of eight studio albums. The band have opened for musicians including John Mayall, Junior Wells and the Chicago-Blues All stars, plus most recently the great Robert Cray. They have performed at many established venues including the Royal Albert Hall, the Brecon Jazz Festival, and Willie Nelsons Fourth of July Picnic.

Jonny Whiteside, writing in the Los Angeles Times in 2014, stated that the "Los Angeles based bluesman Lightnin’ Willie has developed a particularly intriguing wrinkle on the genre, one that's cool, airy, with a sinuous groove that infiltrates his audience's consciousness and invariably gets them on their feet. He has no quarrel mixing dancing with the blues"

On this incredible night of eclectic music, support comes from the middle east tinged, cinematic jazz fusion ensemble- Brickwork Lizards, this will be the popular Oxford based bands first home show for almost two years, simply unmissable

"One of the most creative, and certainly eclectic bands the city has ever produced"
{Oxford Times}
