Bio
Formed in 2008, Jed Potts and 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 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. Jed and the boys recently put the finishing touches on a 5-song demo and wound-up 2010 with a packed show at The Caves in Edinburgh supporting the fantastic British blues/ rock guitarist Aynsley Lister.

Sounds Like
'' Potts' young band showed why they are becoming a popular support act, opening with the powerful instrumental ‘Don’t Lose Your Cool.’ Their mature approach to classic American blues is based upon feel and dynamics, not speed, as demonstrated with a superb take of ‘Woke Up This Morning’. An impassioned ‘Love Her With A Feeling' preceded ‘Long Distance Call’ '' - Duncan Beattie, Blues Matters.
