Leeds Blues Club Presents Andrés Roots

Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser

We are thrilled to host the magnificent Estonian slide guitarist, songwriter and official Ambassador to Tartu 2024, the European Capital of Culture to Leeds Blues Club. Andrés music has received airplay on five continents and his 2016 album 'Roots Music' remains the only blues album ever to top the sales charts in the Baltics.

Introduced in the book “100 Years of Estonian Music” as the country's
“internationally best-known player of pure blues”, Roots’ latest release “Vol.12” has invoked comparisons with not just the heyday of Mississippi Delta Blues but also with Davy Graham, Leo Kottke, Ry Cooder – and even acoustic Led Zeppelin.

“Never afraid to experiment and aim for innovation, Roots seems always to be turning out and delivering fresh blues with its own distinct innovative twist and purpose,” states Iain Patience in Blues Matters! magazine.

“Roots is possibly at his best armed with a resonator and bottleneck slide where his picking is never short of top-quality, zinging, rippling, and pushing the edges of true, pure, raw blues with an apparent self-assurance and ability.

This is a rare opportunity to see one of the finest international blues artists of his generation in the intimate setting of the Leeds Blues Club.
