Jim interviews Grace & Aaron from the UK (Essex England) blues rock band "WHEN RIVERS MEET"
Jim talks about their new album "saving grace", the "testify" video, the UK Blues Awards, Meatloaf, Touring and more!
About WHEN RIVERS MEET:
Since bursting on to the UK Blues scene with their debut record ‘The Uprising EP’ in April 2019 followed by their second EP ‘Innocence Of Youth’ in May 2020, Grace and Aaron have been going from strength to strength. The British husband and wife duo have an ever-growing online fan base and have gained the attention of Cerys Matthews’ The Blues Show on BBC Radio 2.
Their unique harmonic vocal-led approach to song writing, dirty electric guitar, slide resonator mandolin and fiddle create a unique distinctive and contemporary blues rock sound that echoes 1970s classic rock with hints of the 1930s blues that inspire them.
Before lockdown, the duo toured the UK in their self-converted VW camper with an impressive tour schedule. Since the lockdown, the duo live stream on Facebook every Saturday at 8pm GMT for their ‘Rock The Lockdown’ series attracting hundreds of thousands of views.
This year has been a big year for the band. Earlier this year they won 4 UK Blues awards for their first album "WE FLY FREE" and have appeared in 3 magazines (2 on the cover) over the last month.
Their new album "SAVING GRACE" was released on November 19, 2021.
COPYRIGHT CLAIM: the songs "I CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING", "TESTIFY", "SHOOT THE BREEZE" and "DON'T TELL ME GOODBYE" used with permission from Peter Noble & When Rivers Meet
