Influences
Sounds Like
1960s/70s Blues - updated in a similar way as European & US bands modified the original negro blues songs.
While Steelyard write their own material, they also modify & adjust traditional & US & European Blues & Rock.
The is often described as "Ultra Blues", as practiced by Mayall, Clapton,
Zeppelin,Fleetwood Mac, Allman Brothers ,Gallagher and many many more.
The band was formed after the success of Steelyard Blues Duo in mainland Europe & the UK.
They decided to expand the Duo and include a rhythm section. This would give them greater variety & add other dimensions to their sound. So far,this has been extremely successful & the band has been invited to play at many mainland European Blues Festivals & Festivals in the UK.
Steelyard has supported such famous blues & rock artists as The Yardbirds, Spencer Davis Group, Fernando Nohrona, Connie Lush, Kosmic Blue, Sherman Roberton, Johnny Sansome, Mike Sanchez & lots, lots more.
They have played in many top European Blues venues & concert halls in England, Scotland, Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Denmark.
Hi Sarah, Steve and Steelyard Thanks for adding us and your kind comments. Have fond memories seeing you at Basingstoke Blues Club. All the very best Trevor n Grievous
I'd like to say that I really had a great time at your gig in Erlangen, Strohalm. And I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in May at the Kofferfabrik again.
As a Janis Joplin Fan, Sara kinda reminded me of her, because shes got that same.. pain...emotion..blues...thing in her voice, and really is a great singer. And yes, I did have a lil tear in my eye when she sang "cry baby" ;-)
