What's The Music About? Storm Warning weave an intoxicating mix of contemporary blues and rock with traditional elements. They are a band of five diverse influences and one of the most musically dynamic and interesting bands on the UK blues/rock scene.
Who's In The Band?
The voice of frontman Andy Roberts shares the lead with the guitar of Bob Moore, and the classic Hammond and piano
sounds of Ian Salisbury adds an additional blues-based dimension.
Drummer Roger Willis, formerly with Capability Brown and Krazy Kat, and bassist Derek
White complete the line-up, forming what The Blues Band bass man Gary
Fletcher described as “an ace rhythm section.”
New Album - Something Real
‘Something Real’, the 2nd and latest album, has eight superbly crafted original songs and one Lucky Peterson cover. It was recorded at M.A.R.S Studios by Martin Atkinson who has worked on the latest albums by Buddy Guy, Lucky Peterson and Deborah Coleman, for the JSP label. The CD is available throughout the UK, at all good record shops and available online at music websites including Amazon, HMV, Tesco, Blues CD Store etc. plus now available on itunes and other download sites.
"'Something Real' by Storm Warning is a sublime piece of modern electric blues, cool and sophisticated, just about as good as it gets and totally on the button!! Brilliant!! - Toxic Pete website www.toxicpete.co.uk
"This British group's second album oozes class....." - The Sunday Express.
Breaking Out Debut Album
Storm Warning released their debut album, Breaking Out, reaching
no.48 in the Amazon Blues Charts. Produced by the band and Martin
Atkinson at his M.A.R.S. studio, the album features seven original
tracks and two covers of modern blues standards. It received excellent
reviews including Blues In Britain (10 out of 10 rating), Blues Matters!
Magazines and Blues Revue USA. The band earned the critical seal of
approval from Paul Jones, when he played the track ‘Bullets’ on his BBC
Radio 2 show. The response to the track from listeners persuaded the BBC
to ask the band to record a live session for the show and the result was
broadcast on June 22nd 2006 and once again accolades and CD sales came
flooding in.
What The Media Says......
Storm Warning’s live performances are powerful and dynamic, leading
one blues journalist to write at the end of their review for Blues in
Britain magazine;
“This is a tight, classy outfit that should be on every promoter’s
wish list.”
“Storm Warning presented a beautifully crafted set, weaving an intoxicating mix of the traditional with jazzier and rockier elements to keep momentum through to the inevitable encore. They've certainly hit the nail on the head in designing this set of, principally, original material and this fresh approach, expertly executed by a great team of musicians, was more than appreciated by the members, indeed the feedback received, both at the event and follow up e-mail, has been quite phenomenal!" –
