The Blue Suede Crew
Blue Suede Crew - More than a Tribute
The Blue Suede Crew is very far from your everyday tribute act. These boys, steeped in the history of Rock n’ Roll, Gospel, Country and the Memphis Blues, don’t just play the songs of their heroes - Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash - they embody their very spirit.
The Crew will demonstrate not just their undoubted musical talents, but also their ability to put on a barnstorming, show-stopping performance for our troops when they take the stage at a USO show in Camp Atterbury, Indiana on Saturday December 5. It promises to be a wild, raucous night, celebrating everything that is best about honest American music.
And anyone who simply cannot wait to sample some of the finest Rock n’ Roll, Country and Blues you are not likely to hear anywhere else in the world can now hear the Crew in all its glory on the ‘Sun Sessions’ album available at shows or online at www.bluesuedecrew.com.
Recorded in the very same Memphis studio that saw both Elvis and Cash make some of their finest work, the album is a testament to The Blue Suede Crew’s love and mastery of the gospel and blues sound.
Produced by legendary Sun studio engineer James Lott, who oversaw U2’s 1988 ‘Rattle and Hum’ record, ‘Sun Sessions’ is a perfect combination of homage and the new. The band takes traditional music but gives it an unmistakably modern twist. In many ways, it’s exactly what Cash and Elvis did all those years ago, in the very same place.
From the stand-up bass playing of George Miller and the tight rhythms of Dave Stephens, through Rock n’ Roll survivor Bobby Reynolds on guitar, and on to the charismatic Scott Wattles on vocals that make you believe The King is reborn, this group packs one heck of a punch!
Add in Keith Furry as Johnny Cash, the additional vocals of Jan Daily as June Carter, an incendiary horn section led by Glen ‘Lips’ Lewis, the soulful backing vocals of DaJaVu’ and you have a band ready to take on the world.
Anyone who likes Cash, Elvis or just great music will love The Blue Suede Crew. Catch them while they’re hot!
