About this event
The Too Bad Jims - Nominated for 2025 UK Blues Award for ‘Best Emerging Blues Act’ Nominated for ‘Band of the Year’ by Blues Lounge Radio… The Too Bad Jims got their name from the seminal Fat Possum album "Too Bad Jim" by the hugely influential blues musician RL Burnside. Their unique and unusual combination of dual rough and ready vocals, bare-bones electric guitars, slashing bottleneck, and a heavily rhythm-oriented groove, delivers a hypnotic, raw, and earthy sound typical of a North Mississippi juke joint. Their debut album titled "Over The Hill - A Tribute To RL Burnside" has received widespread airplay and critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. “A remarkable three-piece ... they represent the real essence of blues music, unfiltered and immediate" Blues Matters Magazine “I felt like I was transported to a Mississippi Hill Country porch with R.L. Burnside back in the day with your new release", True Grit Radio Network
