Describe your sound in one sentence
The BBBB play stripped-down, heavy, soulful blues, with roots from the late 60’s and early 70’s electric blues-rock.
What is your "mission"?
We like keep things simple to let the music breathe. We do not apologise for our rawness, nor for our tenderness.
If the band was an animal or bird, which would it be?
A Black Cat (See ‘Red’ album BBBBCD1, ‘Black Cat Strikes Back’)
What other people say
‘The fact that Robert Plant dropped into a Bare Bones Boogie Band gig earlier this year speaks volumes about the wind currently gathering in this band’s sails.’
(Henry Yates – Classic (Rock) Blues Magazine, on the BBBB’s inclusion in the ‘Best 50 Blues CD’s of 2013’ for ‘Tattered & Torn’)

What are you most looking forward to about playing at HBBF14?
What more can be said, except brilliant to be a part of and an honour to be playing at the UK’s Best Blues Festival, as voted for the last two years running by the British Blues Awards.
