A SHINING light on the British blues scene, Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion 2015 tour comes to the Regent Centre in Christchurch on June 5.
This special show will see the south coast band launch their third album, Exposed, at the venue. The new album follows quickly on from their breakthrough album, The Blues Don't Scare Me that picked up a series of awards and nominations including Runner-Up for Zoe in the 2014 British Blues Awards.
Their exciting live set is based around the band's rootsy originals; featuring strong catchy riffs, interesting arrangements and exciting grooves, providing the perfect vehicle for Zoe's passionate and commanding vocal style, and Rob Koral's unmistakable guitar.
The highly accomplished rhythm section of Pete Whittaker-Hammond organ, with his virtuoso solos; and Paul Robinson-drums (Nina Simone, Van Morrison, Paul McCartney to name a few) bring massive authority with the ability to push the music in unpredictable and exciting directions. Zoe has made a considerable impact in a very short space of time and is another one of those new artists that have added a fresh approach and vibrancy to the thriving UK blues scene.
