Savoy Brown in Concert

Legendary...a blues / rock institution...true innovators. These are just a few of the ways Savoy Brown has been described over the past forty years by music critics and fans.

One of the earliest of British blues bands, Savoy Brown, with founder guitarist Kim Simmonds at the helm, helped launch the 1967 UK blues boom movement that brought blues music back to the USA invigorating the style forever.

In the process, Savoy Brown became part of the framework that launched the rock and roll music of the 1970’s. Their influence now stretches into modern rock as we know it today.

In 2009, after nearly a decade of singing lead vocals and wanting to concentrate once again on his guitar playing, Kim Simmonds brought in Joe Whiting as lead singer. Savoy Brown thus became a four piece aggregation with Garnet Grimm on drums and Pat DeSalvo playing bass.

From London’s Soho night clubs in 1966 to headlining the world’s most famous venues (Carnegie Hall, Fillmore’s East and West, Cobo Hall, etc) Savoy Brown has done it all and as the band continues to tour worldwide they give a glimpse into the past and also inspire new listeners with their personal brand of rocking boogie, blues and rock.

Steev Inglish (the artist formerly known as Mr. Downchild) opens the show with a great set of acoustic blues. This is his first appearance live in concert in many years.
