Organizer’s description
Sleazy Shindig is BACK! Once again, three sizzling UK-based stars from Spain’s Sleazy Records hit the road in an almighty road show, featuring Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra, Aisha Khan & the Rajahs, and Benson Gibbons & The Sapphires. Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra have been gleefully trampling over genre boundaries for over a decade now, chucking Rockabilly, Blues, Country, Swing, Soul and more into their musical gumbo, but always sounding mostly just like themselves. Well-known for their energetic live shows, and dry humour, they’ve toured with some of the big-name Americana outfits such as Pokey LaFarge, The Dead South, and Sierra Ferrell. Aisha Khan & the Rajahs are purveyors of some of the finest Rhythm & Blues and Blues in the UK today. Headed up by London’s undisputed queen of R&B, Aisha Khan and boasting a top notch band of musicians with a musical lineage stretching back for three decades. Stellar original songs, classic covers and extreme sass. If you didn’t come to party, don’t bother knocking on their door! Benson Gibbons & The Sapphires are a fresh outfit bringing the hip-shaking sounds of 1950s and 60s Rhythm & Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll into the present day. Led by frontman Chris ‘Benson’ Gibbons, the group pulls from the traditions of artists such as; James Brown, Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson, Little Richard, Freddie King, Chuck Berry, and the many who have come before and since.
