Band biography 2010

The Beale Street Blues and Roll Band was founded at the beginning of 2004. At the core of the band is Scottish vocalist Brian Peters, who at the time had already been active on the Blues scene for several years. Hans (lead guitar & backing vocals), Leon (backing vocals & rhythm guitar), Marc (bass guitar) and Ronald (drums) complete the line-up.

The band managed more than 125 gigs in the original line-up. September 2010 Beale Street will have been performing for 6 years.

Beale Street performed at festivals such as Urpop, Baeker Blues Side festival, Bibberblues, Blues Tour Cuijk, Marsna Rhythm an many more. Their repertoire ranges from Blues Classics by the likes of Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon to the more contemporary Blues of, for instance, Rory Gallagher or the heavier rock-based blues of Poppa Chubby.

When Beale Street cover other artists, the original song is always the starting point. However, the band adapt the track to their own style. Thus avoiding creating an exact copy. The share of original material is expanding and has been incorporated into the already varied repertoire.

Short and sweet the band have named their own style Blues & Roll: 'Blues, with a bit more Roll than Rock'.
