Norman Beaker Band - 2 albums: Into The Blues / Who's He Calling Me Him?

Norman Beaker has been at the forefront of the British Blues scene for over 4 decades playing with Alexis Korner, Graham Bond, Jack Bruce, Tony Ashton, Paul Jones, Eric Burdon and many others. BB King commented, “Norman is like a white Freddy King”, a compliment indeed, and not one wasted on the many artistes Norman has subsequently worked with including: BB King, Jimmy Rogers, Buddy Guy, Lowell Fulson, Fenton Robinson, Chuck Berry, Carey Bell James Booker, Jon Lord, Larry Garner and Ruby Turner to name just a few.

The Beaker Band are one of the hardest working bands on the circuit and one of a the few acts, playing songs relevant today. Recently the band have been touring Europe with Chris Farlowe and Van Morrison. They have a new album “Between The Lines” and are permanently on the road in their own right and with Larry Garner, and of course Chris Farlowe for nearly 20 years. The band mix a blend of all types of blues with a lot of energy and also with a lot of humour. The band consists of 5 of the most sought after blues musicians in the UK. Norman has played and recorded with US and UK greats such as BB King, Buddy Guy, Jack Bruce, Alexis Korner Graham Bond, Chuck Berry, Robert Plant, Lowell Fulson and too many more to mention. ~ Norman Beaker: Guitar, Vocals, Bass, Piano, Harp and Percussion.
