The hardest-working band in the USA, David Graham & The Eskimo Brothers, storm into London for a special one-night-only pop-up show at the legendary Ealing Club on Friday 5th September 2025.

Known for their relentless touring schedule and blistering live shows, the Nashville-based trio deliver a high-octane mix of honky-tonk, rockabilly, and roots-rock that has earned them a devoted following across the United States. As their motto goes: “We’re a band you have to see live to believe.” Their raw energy, sweat-drenched performances, and no-nonsense authenticity make them one of America’s most exciting exports.

Frontman David Graham, born in St. Louis and raised in Portland, has lived and breathed music since his earliest days. Picking up guitar at five, sneaking into honky-tonks at fifteen, and never looking back, he’s been compared to the greats he grew up idolising – Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, The Stones, and Willie Nelson. His voice and guitar work fuse rock, country, and soul into something both timeless and urgent. Today, based in Nashville, Graham and The Eskimo Brothers epitomise the grit and drive of American touring musicianship.

Joining them for this special night are two world-class British legends:

✨ Ben Waters – Described by The Guardian as “Key-shattering Boogie Woogie,” Ben is one of the UK’s finest pianists, with a career spanning over three decades. Famous for his powerful renditions of the music of Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Amos Milburn, and Little Richard, Ben has worked with a who’s who of music royalty: The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jools Holland, Jeff Beck, Cher, Imelda May, and even Johnny Depp. From the Sydney Opera House to the Royal Albert Hall, Waters has wowed audiences worldwide with shows so exhilarating that The Times called them “like a bouncy castle for grown-ups.”

✨ Ian Jennings – A master of the double bass and bass guitar, Jennings has been at the beating heart of British rhythm & blues for nearly forty years. His collaborations read like a hall of fame: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Robert Plant, Van Morrison, Paul Rodgers, Tom Jones, Andy Fairweather Low, Carl Perkins, and even Elvis Presley’s sidemen Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana. Jennings’ extraordinary groove and deep musicality have made him a fixture on international stages and recordings alike.

The Venue: The Legendary Ealing Club

This event takes place at The Ealing Club, often called “the cradle of British rock.” It was here, in a basement club in the early 1960s, that Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies launched a rhythm & blues revolution, sparking the careers of The Rolling Stones, The Who, Eric Clapton, and countless others. Keith Richards once said, “Without them there might have been nothing.”

To see the hardest-working band in America joined by two giants of British music on this historic stage is to witness a living, breathing continuation of that legacy.
