The Amen Boogie Blues Band were formed in 1998 when brothers Tim and Dave Hollis joined forces with Mick Fairservice and Ross Honeybourne. With a common interest in Chicago and British Blues a strong set of numbers quickly developed, consisting of covers by artists such as Muddy Waters, Son House, Elmore James and British Blues artists including John Mayall, Peter Green, ‘The Blues Band’ and The Producers.
The Band have been gaining momentum performing regularly on the Island Pub circuit as well as private functions. This has led to further opportunities including performing at an Oxford College Summer Ball, Cowes Week Marina, IW Folk & Blues Festival and numerous other festivals as well as supporting touring artists such as The Harry Skinner Blues Band, Big Bill Morganfield (the son of Blues Legend Muddy Waters) Matt Schofield Trio, Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges', The Ian Siegal Band, Errol Linton's Blues Vibe and The Papa George Band.
