About Me

Pearl Handled Revolver Britains Answer To Dirty Blues” ..>Now with each self-penned original, beautifully crafted by their new line-up, their debut tour has already exceeded all expectations. Jon Lord of Deep Purple sang their praises after their first live performance and with an endorsement of that calibre it is clear that these boys do not disappoint ! Pearl Handled Revolver are not only masters of the stage, they are also masters in the studio, which is proven by their self produced debut 4 track EP , launched in October 2008.But it will soon be time to see how far they've come since then...a further 9 new tracks are on their way!! For now , here's some background on The Revolvers....
Lee Vernon (Lead Vocals / Harmonica / Lyrics) has been a front man for a number of blues rock outfits for many years, from tours across Europe (St.Tropez, Monaco, Germany, Holland) to performing at the 2008 International Tennis Tournament in Dubai alongside some of the world’s finest musicians . An experienced blues man with a stage presence to match, who is also carving a name for himself as a commercial songwriter. Lee’s voice was built for rhythm and blues , delivered with a soul that tells you he means every word. He'd be the first to admit that he plays the harp like he sings,with soul.
Simon Rinaldo (Organ / Electric Piano / Producer) is a tremendous keyboard player with a unique style honed by many years of performing and is an experienced studio producer in his own right. Formerly of Bowfinger (Bedfordshire’s Mod / Ska sensation), Simons talents have always been in great demand; from numerous professional sessions both in the studio and live (alongside artists such as Chrissie Hinde, Roy Wood, Alicia Keys, Ocean Colour Scene, Cheap Trick, The Fall, The Quireboys and Andrew WK to name a few) to appearances on BBC’s Top of The Pops, but never too far from his love of dirty blues. Simons aggressive Hammond Organ licks and delicate Rhodes intervals breathe life into the Pearl Handled Revolver sound.
Andy Paris (Guitar) Take a natural propensity for “Rail-Road” rhythms, add to that the ability to create unforgettable hooks and your just getting close. After an already posthumous career with his previous band The Occasion (supporting artists such as Paul Young and Bowfinger) this guitarist knows how to work a stage. He possess the only thing capable of matching overdriven Hammond….. a Fender Twin Reverb and “THE BLUES”.
Oli Carter (Bass Guitar/Acoustic Guitar) from his earlier performances with Bowfinger, he was certainly a musician to look out for! More than just a charismatic bass player, Oli has given inspiration to tracks like “Rainbow” and “Today Was the Day” with his haunting renditions on Spanish and acoustic guitar. Oli is the roots of Pearl Handled Revolver, he remains a constant driving force in the writing process, a player who raises the bar.
Chris Thatcher (Drums/Guitar/Backing Vocals) Pearl Handled Revolvers newest member. Previously front man/guitarist with retro-stoner rockers Sulfur, Chris takes to the stage behind a drum kit, a very glad we are too. Chris's style comes from 15 years of drumming experience, it is freeform, intense and flamboyant only when needed, just the way we like it.
When you place this much diversity in the hands of a blues band you transcend the blues………….. you get Pearl Handled Revolver.
