| ABOUT: Uncompromisingly raw bohemian hybrid-blues music from TR & Storehouse, who prize a stark 'documentary' aesthetic, with overdub-free recordings and no fixed live arrangements, yet boast bizarrely entertaining, intense and dancefloor-friendly marathon shows. Musical reference points include slave-era spirituals, Alan Lomax field recordings, calypso music, and all varieties of mean blues. Keen listeners may detect subversiveness, and while there is conscious experimentation with the form, the real intention is to do justice to this music and communicate the range of emotions and integrity it carries. The feeling is the only real content. DIY tours and residencies include everything from horse race tracks on the beach to hipster bars, galleries and kooky festivals in the UK, USA, Holland, Switzerland and New Zealand, averaging over 100 shows per year since 2003, offering audiences intimate excursions into the mysterious world of actual real-time musical performance. Rodwell's festival appearances include: Wellington International Jazz Festival (99, 07), Concrete and Glass (London 08), Lovebox Weekender (London 07), Quellrock (Switzerland, 09), Colne Great British R&B Festival (05), Spitz One Man Band Fest (London 06), Tauranga International Jazz & Blues Festival (04), Spitz Festival of the Blues @ Kings Place (London 09), Tramlines (Sheffield 09), Borderline (Auckland 08) and a bunch more... Storehouse members include TR - vocals, guitar, foot-stomping - plus various friends in various places including Damian Immigration (percussion), Art Terry (piano, accordian), Joe Pineapple (bass), Shadow (harmonica), Guest Speaker (percussion), Tony Flamingo (tuba and percussion), Jonathan Mohr (double bass), Isaac Smith (double bass), Dr Nick (trombone), Mr Mel (bass), Mr Guy (snare), and Huey Gower (cello). "Thanks for making my job a lot harder man. I was gonna go out there and play a bunch of bullshit, now I gotta go out there and do something," - Otis Taylor. "Seriously juicy groove," -Giles Hedley. "Much funkier than the alternative," - Little George Sueref. |
Live in Burngreave Cemetery Chapel, Sheffield UK '08.

PRESS: "Rodwell manages to eschew the cliches that beset blues music. By turns wild, angry, hypnotic and sensual, it's as uncompromising as it is funky and some of the best live music I've seen." Blues in London. "Tom Rodwell is Sheffield's answer to Lightnin' Hopkins,” - NME. "Soul-probing... Raw, avant-garde improvisations," - Metro (NZ). "Psychotic gospel music," - Blues in Britain. "Been a while since anyone's heard a song quite like that," - BBC World Service, The Beat. "Serving up eclectic, foot-stompin' alt.blues and visceral neo-spirituals" - Time Out May 2009 "The most blistering one man set we've seen," - Gigwise. "Punishing," Sheffield Telegraph.
