IAN ANDREWS & THE SMOKIN' SCOUNDRELS

The Hell Bent Trio

April 26th, 2014

The Corktown Tavern

Ian Andrews was born in Guelph, but moved to Hamilton in 2012 and started really getting into the Blues scene. "It's going great!" says Andrews. "My act is just over a year and a half old and I've already had the pleasure of playing with some incredible (talent)" Aside from his blues/rock act, Andrews has been collaborating with some other musicians to make a recording of some more abstract music. Andrews is influenced by all kinds of music and sounds, siting Johnny Winter, The Three Kings (Al, Freddie & B.B.) as well as many local acts. Fondly recalling the first time he heard King Biscuit Boy & Crowbar, Andrews says "...that gave me a fever!"

Also on this bill is The Hell Bent Trio. Sound familiar? Probably because you're thinking of The HellBent Rockers, which is the full version of this band. When Bill isn't available to sing, Nicoloff steps up to the mic, and the show goes on... but just as a trio! So you know you can expect a great show, just a bit stripped down!
