We are proud to present Andres Roots , one of the finest slide players around, Tim Aves and his superb repertoire of classic blues tunes and Richard Townend one of the country's leading songwriters in an evening of acoustic raw blues. Andres Roots A guitarist/songwriter whose recordings have received airplay on five continents and who has toured throughout Europe and in the USA, Andres Roots (his real name!) has also composed music for theatre, films and TV -- while his Golden Disc-earning 2016 LP "Roots Music" remains the only blues album ever to top the sales charts in the Baltics. Born in Tallinn, Estonia in 1976, Roots has been living in Tartu since 1995, even serving as an official Ambassador for that Southern Estonian town during its 2024 tenure as the European Capital of Culture. His current album "Royal Spa Blues -- Live from Temperance" was recorded in Royal Leamington Spa in England in July 2024, right after performing at the 40th anniversary edition of the Birmingham Jazz & Blues Festival and the award-winning Upton Blues Festival. Launched with a string of dates in Wales and England in March 2025, it was voted 'Album Pick of the Month' by the UK's Independent Blues Broadcasters Association and reached #2 in the IBBA monthly airplay chart for February. "You could be forgiven for thinking your ears or eyes deceive you, given it sounds like either there are two musicians/guitars involved, or he has six fingers on each hand." - Ross Muir, FabricationsHQ "Reminded me of Deep Purple as re-imagined by Texas slide guitar bluesman Black Ace." - Norman Darwen, Blues in Britain "It's almost as if muddy waters were flowing into the Gulf of Riga. Musicians of this sort run counter to all expectations, and upset various purists." - Ted Gioia, The Honest Broker TIM AVES "Singer, guitarist and harmonica player Tim Aves is a 40-year veteran of the British blues scene, best known for his work with the bands Automatic Slim, WOLFPACK and Leavin Trunk, but also for occasional solo acoustic performances such as this."
