He was just 11 years old when his brother gave him his firstguitar which someone had dumped in his dustbin. By the time he was 12 he was forming his first band at school in Shepherds Bush West London and bythe time he was 14 years old he was playing in his brothers group ‘TheTraders\,’ playing the pubs and working men’s clubs. At 15 years of age he wanted to form his own group called ‘The Stray’. \n\n\n\nBy 1970 at 18 years of age he had signed his first record deal with Transatlantic Records and released the first self-titled album ‘STRAY’. \n\n\n\nStray went on to record around 14 studio and live albums and has toured constantly over the years. There have been other artistes who have covered songs by Del Bromham and STRAY\, notably Iron Maiden who recorded and released STRAY’s\, arguably best known song\,‘All in your Mind’ as the flip side to the 1970 no.1 single ‘Holy Smoke’. \n\n\n\nAlthough with varying line ups over the years\, Del still tours as STRAY as well as having his own solo career. He has recorded 4 solo albums. \n\n\n\nThe last critically acclaimed ‘White Feather’ achieved the best reviews of his career todate. \n\n\n\nDel’s autobiography titled ‘Rock and Roll Survivor’ and the new STRAY album titled ‘ABOUT TIME’ was released worldwide in September 2023. \n\n\n\nDel will be touring with his trio featuring Karl Randall on drums and Colin‘Curvy’ Kempster on bass guitar.

An award-winning vocalist and harmonica master\, he famously mentored John Belushi during the filming of Animal House\, directly inspiring the creation of The Blues Brothers characters. But his legacy goes far beyond Hollywood; Salgado is a powerhouse performer in his own right. He is a multiple Blues Music Award winner\, having taken home the most coveted titles in the industry\, including B.B. King Entertainer of the Year\, Soul Blues Artist of the Year\, and Song of the Year. Billboard magazine hails his music as “inspired and powerful\,” while NPR calls him “an icon with a huge voice.” Do not miss the chance to see this living piece of music history on a UK stage. \n\n\n\nThe Giles Robson Band\n\n\n\n“The UK’s International Harmonica Virtuoso” Giles Robson is a trailblazer in the blues world. He is the first and only UK or European artist to appear on Chicago’s legendary Alligator Records\, a label that described him as “a blues giant.” His incredible talent on the harp led him to become one of only three British artists—alongside Eric Clapton and Peter Green—to win a prestigious Blues Music Award in Memphis (the Grammys of the Blues).

A Chicago native with a voice steeped in the rich musical heritage of the South Side\, Kapsalis is a force of nature. Fronting Vintage #18\, she earned a Blues Blast Music Award nomination for New Artist Debut Album and has been praised by Living Blues for her “commanding voice.” Known as the “Soul Shaker\,” her stage presence is electric\, channeling the raw power of Koko Taylor with the sultry delivery of a classic jazz diva. She is the perfect addition to an evening of world-class music. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFURTHER DETAILS ON THE HISTORY OF CURTIS SALGADO \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhatever songs Curtis Salgado brings to the table are going to have his personal soul stamp on them. It’s the singer’s magic bullet\, the key element that stirs listeners and sets Salgado apart as one of the most riveting performers on stage today.\n\n\n\nBorn in 1954\, Salgado grew up in Eugene\, Oregon with music all around him. His parents’ vast music collection included everything from Fats Waller to Ray Charles\, and his older brother and sister turned him on to the soul and blues of Wilson Pickett and Muddy Waters at an early age. He attended a Count Basie performance when he was 13 and decided then and there that music was his calling. After getting his hands on a harmonica\, Curtis began devouring the blues of Little Walter and Paul Butterfield\, and taught himself to play.\n\n\n\nBy his early 20s he was already making a name for himself in Eugene’s bar scene\, first as the vocalist/harmonica player of The Nighthawks\, and later as co-leader of The Robert Cray Band. Salgado quickly developed into a player and singer of remarkable depth\, with vocal and musical influences including Otis Redding\, O.V. Wright\, Muddy Waters\, Little Walter\, Sonny Boy Williamson I and II\, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Howlin’ Wolf.\n\n\n\nIn 1977\, comedian/actor John Belushi was in Eugene filming Animal House. During downtime from production\, Belushi caught a typically ferocious Salgado performance and introduced himself during a break. Once Salgado started sharing some of his blues knowledge\, a fast friendship grew. Salgado spent hours playing old records for Belushi\, teaching him about blues and R&B. Belushi soaked up the music like a sponge and used his new awareness to portray “Joliet” Jake Blues in The Blues Brothers\, first as a skit on Saturday Night Live\, then a best-selling record album (which was dedicated to Curtis) and finally as a major motion picture (Cab Calloway’s character in the film was named Curtis as an homage).\n\n\n\nOnce Salgado joined forces with his friend Robert Cray and began playing together as The Robert Cray Band\, he found himself sharing stages with many of his heroes\, including Muddy Waters\, Bobby Bland\, Albert Collins and Bonnie Raitt. After Salgado and Cray parted ways in 1982\, Curtis went on to front Roomful Of Blues\, singing and touring with them from 1984 through 1986. Back home in Oregon\, he formed a new band\, Curtis Salgado & The Stilettos\, and was once again tearing it up on the club scene. He honed his band to a razor’s edge before releasing his debut in 1991 on the JRS label. After recordings for Rhythm Safari and Lucky Records\, Salgado signed withShanachie Records in 1999\, releasing four critically acclaimed albums. Salgado’s Alligator Records debut\, Soul Shot\, came out in 2012 to widespread critical acclaim. Blues Revue said Salgado’s music is “triumphant\, joyful\, blues-soaked R&B” and declared him to be “one of the most soulful\, honest singers ever.” He followed up with The Beautiful Lowdown in 2016 and Rough Cut\, the potent\, stripped-down acoustic album (with guitarist Alan Hager) in 2018. The albums collectively earned Salgado multiple Blues Music Awards—for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year\, Soul Blues Album Of The Year\, Song Of The Year and Soul Blues Male Artist Of The Year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16TH JANUARY 2026 \n\n\n\nDOORS 7PM \n\n\n\nSHOWTIME 7:30PM \n\n\n\nTHE OLD BREWERY STORE \n\n\n\nFAVERSHAM URL:https://rockinrootsevents.co.uk/event/curtis-salgado-usa/ LOCATION:THE OLD BREWERY STORE\, MILL PLACE\, FAVERSHAM\, KENT\, ME13 7DY\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:BLUES,FAVERSHAM,KENT,THEN OLD BREWERY STORE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://rockinrootsevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/THE-INTERNATIONAL-BLUES-ALL-STARS.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20251207T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20251207T214500 DTSTAMP:20260517T182752 CREATED:20250826T091543Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251201T173657Z UID:651-1765135800-1765143900@rockinrootsevents.co.uk SUMMARY:CAITLIN KRISKO & THE BROADCAST LIVE AT BROMLEY BLUES CLUB DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS OPEN 6:30PMMUSIC FROM 7:30PM \n\n\n\nCAITLIN KRISKO & THE BROADCAST LIVE AT BROMLEY BLUES CLUB \n\n\n\nRecommended to fans of:Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Bonnie Raitt\, Beth Hart\, Elles Bailey\, & Marcus KingCaitlin Krisko & The Broadcast return to the UK for the third time\, bringing their unmistakable roots rock & roll sound from the mountains of North Carolina back across the Atlantic to celebrate the release of their most personal album yet\, Heirloom. The band has earned a devoted international following for their electrifying live shows\, razor-sharp songwriting\, and the magnetic force of Caitlin Krisko’s powerhouse voice—praised by Rolling Stone as “arguably one of the best kept vocal secrets of the Southeast”.Their new single “Heart of Gold” is already earning national airplay on Planet Rock\, and it’s not hard to hear why. With lyrics that dig deep and a performance that hits even deeper\, it’s a powerful glimpse into the emotional terrain of Heirloom. As Blues Matters put it: “With Heirloom on the horizon\, ‘Heart Of Gold’ marks the beginning of what promises to be a defining era for Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast.”Written in the wake of profound loss from the unexpected passing of Krisko’s mother and guitarist Aaron Austin’s stepfather in 2023\, Heirloom explores what we inherit\, and what we leave behind. It’s a record about lineage\, letting go\, and choosing what truly matters. Each track was shaped not just by grief\, but by years of resilience\, miles on the road\, and a deep commitment to creating something real together. Their last run through the UK left audiences stunned\, with Bristol 24/7 declaring it “a night that left no one disappointed\,” and calling Krisko’s voice “one of the best in the business—soulful yet raw with that raspy ragged edge… mesmerizing.” Now\, with Heirloom set to release and momentum swelling on both sides of the Atlantic\, the band returns with sharpened focus and undeniable urgency.Whether you’ve been following since day one or are just hearing their name for the first time\, don’t miss your chance to be in the room on their upcoming album release tour. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Upcoming Events \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n May \n \n 24 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 15:00 – 22:00 \n \n \n \n THE TENTERDEN RHYTHM & BLUES REVUE 2026! \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n May \n \n 30 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 19:30 – 22:30 \n \n \n \n STRAY LIVE AT THE OLD BREWERY STORE \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Jun \n \n 3 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 19:00 – 22:30 \n \n \n \n JIMMY CARPENTER LIVE AT THE OLD BREWERY STORE FAVERSHAM \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Jun \n \n 7 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 19:30 – 21:45 \n \n \n \n JIMMY CARPENTER LIVE AT BROMLEY BLUES CLUB \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n Jun \n \n 11 \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n 19:30 – 22:30 \n \n \n \n AYNSLEY LISTER LIVE IN FAVERSHAM \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n View Calendar URL:https://rockinrootsevents.co.uk/event/caitlin-krisko-the-broadcast-live-in-sittingbourne/ LOCATION:BROMLEY BLUES CLUB\, BROMLEY LITTLE THEATRE\, NORTH STREET\, BROMLEY\, LONDON\, BR1 1SB\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:BLUES,BROMLEY,BROMLEY BLUES CLUB ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://rockinrootsevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/KRISKO-BROMLEY-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20251204T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20251204T213000 DTSTAMP:20260517T182752 CREATED:20251026T095347Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251201T173137Z UID:780-1764876600-1764883800@rockinrootsevents.co.uk SUMMARY:An Intimate Evening with Blues Legends: Dave Peabody & Alan Glen DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn Intimate Evening with Blues Legends: Dave Peabody & Alan Glen – Extremely Limited Tickets! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRockin’ Roots Events is proud to present a rare and intimate evening with two masters of the British blues scene.

Olly (as friends call him) is a rising star\, having been honoured with a session by Cerys Matthews on her Radio 2 Blues show and championed by Mojo magazine. Both his fellow musicians and many music industry pundits predict big things for MacDonald. \nHis 2023 album Heavy State Loving Blues demonstrated how McDonald’s gravitas has developed\, matching his remarkable guitar playing with soulful vocals and strong original songs: here is a rising talent making his mark on the soul/blues scene. \n“I first got interested in guitar when I was a youngster at school and grunge and Britpop were what everyone was listening to\,” recalls MacDonald\, “but I was more interested in what I heard in my parents’ record collection – the likes of B.B. King and Al Green\, classic American blues and soul artists. I never dreamed of being in Nirvana or Oasis like a lot of my school mates\, instead I wanted to go to Chicago and see the clubs where Muddy Waters used to play!” \nThis led to Olly being nicknamed “Mississippi” by pals due to his passion for music from the US South. Interestingly\, MacDonald says he never felt any great connection to the British blues scene of the 1960s. “I like records I’ve heard by the Stones and Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall\,” he notes\, “but when I was learning guitar those artists were rock superstars and I was attracted to much more downhome sounds. I vividly recall going into the local Virgin record shop with the money I’d saved and buying an Albert Collins LP – and that blew my mind!” \nMacDonald learnt guitar from studying the likes of the Kings – B.B.\, Albert\, Freddie – and the aforementioned Collins. He also listened intently to the likes of ZZ Hill and O.V. Wright\, Southern soul singers whose voices possessed a blues inflection. \n“They express themselves with real power yet remain eloquent and soulful\,” says MacDonald. “No histrionics or showing off – the great soul and blues vocalists sing in a way that conveys the song as if a friend was telling you of their trials and tribulations. Same for my favourite guitarists – I value economy and expression\, not guitar histrionics. ” \nMacDonald\, happy to be a tortoise not a hare\, worked away at his craft\, playing locally and privately pressing recordings\, a suburban bluesman with a family to support. Then\, post-lockdown\, he raised his game\, signed to Another Planet Music and started getting booked beyond the local pub/club circuit he’d cut his teeth on. His APM debut album Do Right\, Say Right was released in late-2021 and won accolades across the UK\, Europe and the US.  Guesting on US harp player/vocalist Steve Bailey’s Crazy About You album (a tribute to the late Sonny Boy Williamson II) demonstrated that Olly could hold his own with the Americans. Then came Heavy State Loving Blues – here MacDonald demanded and grabbed attention: he is the most exciting British electric guitarist in years as well as a singer and songwriter of considerable note. And never less than soulful. \n“I’ve been out there grafting for several years\,” notes MacDonald\, “and it’s like I’ve finished my apprenticeship and am ready to play alongside my heroes. Veteran Memphis soul singer Vaneese Thomas – Rufus Thomas’ youngest daughter – guested on Heavy State and it was an honour to sing alongside her\, we really connected. This led to me being invited to play at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and record a track with Freddie King’s brother Benny Turner. I also got to meet Boo Mitchell.” \nBoo Mitchell is the son and heir of the late Willie Mitchell\, the Memphis maestro who defined the sound of 70s Southern soul by producing hits on Al Green\, Otis Clay\, Ann Peebles\, O.V. Wright and others at Royal Sound Studios. Olly and Boo hit it off and an arrangement was made for MacDonald to return and record at Royal Sound Studios with the Hi Rhythm Section as his backing band – the same band who backed Al\, Otis\, Ann and O.V. Olly returned to Memphis and laid down the tunes for his forthcoming 2024 album Mississippi MacDonald with Hi Rhythm. “A life changing experience\,” says MacDonald of the Royal sessions. \nOliver “Mississippi” MacDonald’s fluid fingers\, a singular voice and songwriting talent mark him as the new voice of British soul-blues – note his name. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE FOR MORE SHOWS FROM ROCKIN’ ROOTS EVENTS URL:https://rockinrootsevents.co.uk/event/mississippi-macdonald/ LOCATION:SOUTHEY BREWERY CO\, 21 Southey Street\, Penge\, LONDON\, SE20 7JD\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:LONDON,PENGE,SOUTHEY,SOUTHEY BREWERY ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://rockinrootsevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SOUTHEY-A4-2-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251001T190000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251001T223000 DTSTAMP:20260517T182752 CREATED:20250614T165410Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250923T120150Z UID:79-1759345200-1759357800@rockinrootsevents.co.uk SUMMARY:JACK J HUTCHINSON LIVE IN SITTINGBOURNE DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n JACK J HUTCHINSON LIVE IN SITTINGBOURNE\nGet ready for a night of music whiplash.\nDave Ferra kicks things off with stripped-back blues storytelling.\nJack J Hutchinson follows with full throttle rock fury.\nRock meets roots – don’t miss it !\nWho is Jack J Hutchinson?
