The Snowy White Blues Project have just released their first album In Our Time of Living and will be performing at Leamington’s Assembly on May 29.

Snowy is a blues-orientated electric guitar player, whose sound, technique and style echoes the originality of the blues with the edge of contemporary rock.

He grew up listening to the sounds of BB King, Otis Rush and Albert King, taught himself the guitar and moved to London in the early seventies to make his name.

After touring the east coast of America he became friends with English blues guitarist Peter Green before being invited on tour by progressive rock band Pink Floyd.

He toured with their show The Wall then joined rock band Thin Lizzy and recorded the album Chinatown with them.

He quit the band in 1982 to do his own thing and made his first solo album White Flames, which produced the chart-topping single Bird of Paradise.

He went on to record Highway to the Sun and then released a series of albums with his band White Flames.

The new group, which formed last year, features musicians Matt Taylor on guitar and vocals, bassist and singer Ruud Weber and drummer Juan van Emmerloot.

The venue’s Spencer Street box office is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm or call 523001.
