Big Blues Tribe

 
The Big Blues Tribe is a nine-piece Blues Band in the style of BB King, Ray Charles and, more recently, Jools Holland’s R&B Orchestra. With a full five piece brass section, from trumpet to baritone sax, and five excellent voices, the Big Blues Tribe brings good-time big band blues to life.
 
Fronted by Oliver Carpenter, one of the Midlands most experienced blues singers, and featuring top musicians on every stand, the band combines musical quality with an infectious sense of fun and a 100% commitment to blues music. From the first shuffle to the last jump, The Big Blues Tribe’s complex and intricate arrangements take a broad range of music from little known tracks to standards like St James’ Infirmary and make them their own.
 
With storming performances at 13 major blues festivals in 2009 and 2010, their album ‘Warning: May Contain Blues’ selected by Blues in Britain as one of its reviewers albums of the year, and currently undertaking a series of theatre performances, The Big Blues Tribe is going from strength to strength.
