Rebel Blues

A blues band with a funk addiction.

About Me

Rooted deep in the blues traditions of Robert Johnson and honoring the stylings of greats like Pinetop Perkins and John Lee Hooker, Rebel Blues can lay down a funk rhythm around a blues arrangement and rock the house with it. The sweet vocal sounds of Donald Hill backed by the keyboard highlights of Rob Woolsey and their outstanding rhythm and guitar make this a debut album you won't want to miss. Packed with soul-twisting hooks, a rebellious blues rhythm and white-hot guitar punctuation, with a respecftul nod to history, these young bluesmen are keeping the blues authentic while evolving the style in the 21st Century.
