Based on the edge of The New Forest on the South Coast, Riverside Blues Band plays in venues and festivals across the South of England and beyond.

With an extensive repertoire from which to choose material the set list changes regularly and can be tailored to suit the event, from festivals to parties and regular pub gigs.

With a high quality PA and lighting to suit both small and large venues, the band can be relied upon to put on a professional show for pub gigs, private functions or festivals.. A Riverside show is typically 2 hours long....played at a controlled volume level to suit each venue's requirements.

Publicity is a high priority and gigs are added to several live music listings such as Blues In The South. Rock Regeneration, various Facebook groups and pages and our mailing list.

Steamer is a 4 piece band and suitable for smaller venues - see the Steamer website www.steamermusic.co.uk.
