"Ladies & Gentleman, Sinners All, Can I call upon the gods of Rock & Roll, to introduce to you the arrival of..."

THE BAND

If you’ve seen them before then you will know that they are all about live, full guns blazing rock & blues. If you are new to the band, then allow me to explain....

British Blues Rockers "Snakewater" are a power trio hailing from Manchester and what you get is a classic valve driven back line driven with all elements of Rock & Roll. Influences range from Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Rory Gallagher, and Peter Green to Led Zeppelin, Cream and Free. Basically, that Old School of British Rock persuasion of the blues! The sound that emerges from the trio after they've settled behind their instruments is not the one you would imagine emerging on first sight - the wall of solid blues that they throw out is quite startling. 

 Snakewater have great potential to make a real name for themselves and are just waiting for their opportunity to break through and take a shot at the mainstream European Blues scene. Their forthcoming debut album ‘A NEW BREED’, produced by Grammy Award nominee “Chris Tsangarides”, has just been signed to “Dark Lord Records” / Sony AVT Publishing. Released in March 2012.

BOBBY GRANT » GUITAR / VOCALS
Bobby is a self-taught musician. At the age of 7, he picked up the guitar. His expressive playing is powerful and comes directly from the soul. Not being able to read music, Bobby learnt by ear. Listening to his dad’s early records; Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana. From such a young age it was obvious to friends and family that Bobby had a natural talent, but it wasn’t until he found a cassette of his dads under the stairs when his world and out look on the guitar changed! “Blues for Greeny” by Gary Moore, was the pivotal point where he found his goal, of how he wanted to sound and play. From this day, around 11 years old he started to play the Guitar more seriously and used every opportunity to play live. Playing with much older musicians on the local music scene, playing as many jam sessions as possible, this was where and how Bobby started to learn his craft. Nominated for “Young Artist of the Year” at the 2011 British Blues Awards was a big honour.

 BEN STREETS » DRUMS
Ben started playing the drums at the age of 11, and quickly found that he had a natural gift behind the sticks. Ben would listen to  any type of genre of music he could, which today transpires into his unique sound and style. His aggressive but yet very technical style can be stripped down. The power house of playing of John Bonham, the Craziness of Keith Moon, yet the groove of Stuart Copeland with everybody else mashed into one!

 BENJAMIN EDWARDS » BASS
The Newest member of Snakewater, Benjamin fitted in with ease. With a background from the Royal Northern School of Music (where he met Ben), his professionalism and and ability is just incredible. His main instrument of choice is a 6-String beauty! Not many players can tackle a 5 string bass, never mind a 6 string. Which Benjamin uses to is advantage, and uses every note on the neck.
