Lyndon Anderson Band

When it comes to the blues, The Lyndon Anderson Band have all the bases covered, whether it's a 1950's Chess classic, a chunk of 70's funk, a rocking Texas shuffle, jazz influenced west coast swing or one of their many originals, they play it all with style, authority and taste. From Lightning Hopkins to the Meters and beyond, they mix up a red hot gumbo of groove with tunes from the likes of Muddy Waters, James Brown, Little Walter, Junior Parker and the Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Whether he's blasting out lightning fast chromatic runs or digging deep down into a bent note, there's no mistaking Lyndon is a true heavyweight of the harp. He blends elements of jazz, blues and funk whilst still remaining true to tradition. Considered by many to be one of the top players on the scene today, his emotional and intense playing is unmistakably one of a kind. Dynamite harp, soulful, muscular vocals, boogaloo guitar work, songwriter, producer; the list goes on, but all that needs to be said is that Lyndon is without doubt the real thing.
