 The Fabulous Corvettes exploded into existence in the Spring of 2008. They got
together via the Bandmix site, once Dawg figured out
how to kick start the particle accelerator. From the depths of cyberspace the call of the
blues was answered at Banana Row one misty Edinburgh April
morning by four soul brothers:
·
Graham ‘The
Licksmith’ : guitar
·
Houndog Fraser: bass
·
James
B. Carr: vox and harp
·
Peter
‘Stix’ Rabjohns:
drums
This new but experienced band is already gaining respect in Edinburgh
and across Scotland with audiences who love to hear and boogie to the blues. Almost fresh
from their recent Calmac Tour,
the band will perform eight shows in the Free Edinburgh Fringe Festival before headlining
the Bailie Beer Festival and making their Callander Jazz & Blues Festival debut in
October.
“The Fabulous Corvettes are your
groove guides on a Blues, Soul and R&B road trip from Chicago to Mississippi via
Memphis and Kansas City, with some original local detours on northbound trains and no.22
buses thrown in for good measure. Prepare to be transported.”
“Brilliant! (or should it be
fabulous?)” Dave Arcari
“Viva the Corvettes!” Roberto
Cassani on Nessmp3
“Stars, one
and all, the crowd enjoyed it almost as much as the band!”
