"Take the singer crowned the "queen of British blues", add "Cooderish grooves" from dynamic guitarist, hand the bass lines over to a sousaphone, let loose a truly funky drummer (and occasional didge player) and let a few lap steel lines soar over it all and you have The Why & Wherefores. "
The Why & Wherefores are a dynamic five piece band swinging all the way from roots to rockabilly, taking in some reggae and Latin beats along the way.
Their outstanding new album "Alright", is available from http://www.whyandwherefores.com
The band is fronted by Emily Druce and Steve Jones, and was formed when the duo, Druce + Jones, found itself bursting at the seams. Druce + Jones released "Songs from The Silver Band Room" in 2004 and played live sessions for Paul Jones on BBC radio 2 and Woman’s Hour on Radio 4. They’ve toured widely, taking in a range of venues and festivals including Dingwalls, The Borderline, The Great British R&B festival, The Ullapool Guitar festival, Bushy’s Big Wheel Blues festival, Sidmouth festival and Mettmann Blues festival in Germany. Now joined by Marc Layton-Bennett on drums and percussion, Martin Wydell on sousaphone and John Barker on lap steel to form The Why and Wherefores , Druce and Jones have released a refreshing and original album of their own material.
