Hailing from Birmingham, England and channeling bluesmen infinitely older than his 22 years, Rivers Presley's music echoes the demons of Son House & Model T Ford if they were bought up on a diet of Biffy Clyro and Black Keys.
Joined on stage by drummer Thomas Henry their live presence switches between swollen slide guitar licks and pin drop silences which leave crowds staggered. Recent devotees Black Diamond Heavies, after catching The Rivers Presley Set live on a trip to the UK, were so impressed that they asked the guys to join them on the US leg of their tour.
The band are all set to release their debut single this summer and are currently playing a string of dates around the UK.
