NOBATB: Back At Nicks / The Occasions

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: Back At Nick’s / The Occasions

Back At Nick’s
A recent reviewer wrote: “From gritty rock 'n' roll riffs to sultry jazz-infused standards, Back at Nick's prove they're more than a cover band - they're a seasoned ensemble that knows how to own a stage without all the bells and whistles (figuratively speaking). Their raucous, swagger-filled renditions pays homage to the original artists with punchy guitar licks and a blues-soaked vocal growl that electrified the crowd. In a tonal pivot that showcased their range, the band could slip effortlessly from a rockabilly blues into a smoky, lounge-like cover, complete with expressive vocals and a smooth jazzy twists that felt straight out of a New Orleans speakeasy…Whether they're channelling rock, blues, or jazz, Back at Nick's bring charisma, chemistry, and an infectious sense of fun.”

The Occasions
Rhythm and Blues covering The Kinks, the Rolling Stones, Dr Feelgood, The Who… and fronted by the inimitable Trevor Head. They'll bring you all those R&B songs you know and love.
