This newly formed duo is the meeting of top London blues guitar player and singer Tom Julian Jones and multi-award winning harmonica player Greg Miller. Together they go back to the roots of Chicago blues with an original twist.

Tom JJ is an exciting, up and coming blues artist from South London. Over the last six years, since he could legally get into the venues, Tom has been making a name for himself on the vibrant London blues scene with his original songs and a mix of traditional Chicago style and foot stomping Texas Blues.

He has recently been working with the Giles Robson band touring Holland, Belgium and the Czech Republic. He has played with James Harman, Billy Branch, Magic Dick, Ian Siegal and Katie Bradley. Last year on a solo trip to Austin, Texas, he played with Paul Oscher, the harmonica player in the Muddy Waters band.

Bringing a fresh sound to the blues, Greg Miller is a vocalist and multi-award winning harmonica player. He started teaching himself to play at just 17, before studying at the Paris Harmonica School, founded by Greg Zlapsinski, and training with internationally renowned harmonica players Carlos Del Junco and Nico Wayne Toussaint. After leaving France for London in 2010, Greg founded the London Harmonica School, where he now teaches students his own approach to harmonica.

But Greg also devotes much of his time to his own progress. In 2011 he was named Blues Harmonica Player of the Year at the National Harmonica League, and in 2013 he won the title of Jazz World Harmonica Champion. He also gigs across the city in renowned blue venues including the Troubador, Ain’t Nothin’ But and The Blues Kitchen, and at festivals across Europe.

Tom JJ is an exciting, up and coming Blues artist from South London. Over the last six years, since he could legally get into the venues, Tom has been making a name for himself on the vibrant London Blues scene with his original songs and a mix of traditional Chicago style and foot stomping Texas Blues.

Tom has been singing professionally since the age of eight. Trained on the trumpet, he started to teach himself blues harp and guitar at fourteen. He found an outlet for his blues passion a year later in a local piano bar and played for coca cola. He cajoled a few of his school friends into a band, organising them to busk every weekend. He says it taught him to manage the strange whims of musicians, understand audiences and set lists and to keep a pair of fingerless gloves on standby in the winter.

When he left school, he started a university course in London but found his heart wasn’t in academia and his music degree was getting in the way of his playing. He left after a year and with the help of a few generous well-known musicians he embedded himself quickly on the London scene. He was soon taking over the running of a couple of well-respected weekly Blues jams and creating new ones.

He has recently been working with the Giles Robson band touring Holland, Belgium and the Czech Republic. He has played with James Harman, Billy Branch, Magic Dick, Ian Siegal and Katie Bradley. Last year on a solo trip to Austen, Texas, he played with Paul Oscher, the harmonica player in the Muddy Waters band.
