NOBATB: with Robert West Band & Jackdaw Road

Event information

The last Monday of every month here is Not Only But also The Blues where we feature some of the finest exponents in the south west, and beyond, of music whose roots are in the blues.

Featuring: Robert West Band / Jackdaw Road

Jackdaw Road is a Dartmoor based blues/Americana band formed by guitarist Chris Mann to showcase his own material. Chris is well known on the Devon music scene having played in many different cover bands since the 80s, but here he gets a chance to show off his songwriting skills. The band’s style ranges from melodic ballads to barn-storming blues/rock with Chris’s distinctive guitar always leading the way. He is joined by his wife Emma on vocals, Sam Henderson on drums and Ralph Dunlop on bass.

Robert West Band is a power trio that has been together for nearly two and a half years. Band members come from backgrounds as diverse as blues, ragtime, classic rock and folk rock. They cite influences from Robert Johnson to Gary Clark Jr. Their passion is playing guitar-driven shameless blues, with a nod towards rock & roll. You might also hear a touch of Ry Cooder somewhere in the Mix

Along with the usual blues jam/open mic session. If you would like to be included, or to find out more, contact Mary Caffrey on mary.caffrey49@gmail.com.
