JED POTTS & THE HILLMAN HUNTERS

ONSTAGE: 21.30

Formed in 2008, Jed Potts & the Hillman Hunters have cultivated a stage performance which is exciting and spontaneous. Drawing from the rich well of classic 50’s and 60’s American blues the trio (completed by drummer Jonny Christie and bassist Pauric Logue) stay true to the traditions of the music whilst also taking risks. Whether laying back into a Freddie King ballad or digging-in to a hypnotic Muddy Waters groove, the band transmits power in ways other than speed and volume. The unlimited dynamic possibilities of a simple trio format make for a charismatic performance which is different every single night.

JP & the HH have supported the likes of Ian Siegal (who joined the band on stage for a performance of Muddy Waters’ ‘Long Distance Call’), Ben Poole (the line-up for this show consisted of Jed, Pauric, Eilidh McKellar on 2nd guitar and Neil Warrack on drums), Aynsley Lister, Pat McManus, Paul Garner and The River Devils. JP & the HH have performed at the Shetland Blues Festival, the Bell Rock Blues Festival in Arbroath (this show featured special guest Cameron Gray of The Pentatonics on harmonica) and Jed also appeared as part of Tim Elliot’s Troublemakers band for a show at the 2011 Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival. Later that same year Jed played with Jerry Donahue and Gregg Wright as part of a series of special events in Edinburgh. Jed has also performed three shows as part of an expanded version of Blues ‘n’ Trouble when they played with (and as back-up band to) Maggie Bell.

ZEBRA

ONSTAGE: 00:30

(Translated from French)

The ZEBRA adventure begins in 2018 with the meeting of Sabrina’s enveloping voice and the delicate and frenetic guitar playing of Fabien …
They quickly put together a repertoire of French and international songs, in a pure folk rock but also jazz spirit. Essential covers are mingled with other less known nuggets, because ZEBRA was born from this desire to discover his favorites to the public!
In 2019, the band joins their friend Juan, in the cajon, followed shortly by Marc, bassist and their legendary groove … ZEBRA becomes a trio or a quartet capable of thrilling the crowds of the concert halls, thanks to a repertoire expanded and resolutely more rock arrangements!
In parallel, Sabrina and Fabien continue to perform as duets, now offering a tribute concert to Edith Piaf and her contemporaries. Comforted by the always warm welcome of the public, the band has plenty of ideas for arrangements and compositions …
The ZEBRA adventure is just beginning!
