Hi Fans of this style of music would love Ben Waters who brings his band to sheffield on 23 February. Venue : The Foyer at The University of Sheffield.Call 0114 222 8999 for tickets and details. Ben plays in the Jools Holland style – no nonsense serious boogie woogie. Indeed Jools Holland features on Ben Water’s new album “Shakin’ in the Makin”. Ben played with Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, BB King and Sting before forming his own band in 1994. One of the UK's finest pianists, and humorous performers. Ben’s live shows have been compared to Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix. Influenced by some of the finest pianists in the world, Ben initially bit the bait of Boogie Woogie and pianists like Albert Ammonns and Meade Lux Lewis created a desire to own a piano. Then the New Orleans bug struck, and the likes of Professor Longhair and Dr John glued him to the piano stool for hours. Ben mixes Boogie woogie, Hot New Orleans Blues with some good old rock & roll!
