The Davidson Trio - Hard-Hitting Blues Rock

On Saturday 6th September we are pleased to welcome blues-rock power trio The Davidson Trio to the JJJ stage for their first visit.

Formed from the ashes of Glenn Hughes family tree tribute band Black Country Community, the band - featuring Owen Davidson (Vocals / Bass), Ben Bicknell (Guitar) and Ellis Brown (Drums) - have followed in the footsteps of the blues but with a hard edge as explained by guitarist Ben Bicknell: “The band has a blues rock style which ebbs and flows dipping its toe into other styles such as harder rock, funk and soul". As well as a great mixture of originals and classic covers, there may also be a nod or two to the band's previous incarnation - maybe from Black Country Communion or Deep Purple etc - and if there is, we're definitely here for it!

Ben Bicknell takes his inspiration from many of the greats in the blues rock field, noting the likes of Gary Moore and Joe Bonamassa as influences, and is happy to shred licks and tumultuous runs but also likes to approach and react to the needs of the song at the hand. Ellis Brown, is a relative new comer to the scene, and with him brings a strong heavy metal influence, that Bicknell notes: “Really gives the band a different edge”. Heading the trio is Owen Davidson, a character who’s played with many artists over the years, most notably former Scorpions guitarist Uli Jon Roth, and most importantly a man with a five-octave range.
