Hard Swimmin' Fish is a blues trio that has been making music together for over ten years. They play a range of styles covering the country blues of Mississippi and The Piedmont, the urban blues of Chicago, modern funk infused varieties, and even some improvisational Jazz-Rock. This versatility allows Hard Swimmin' Fish to offer either acoustic or electric performances and play any venue. The juxtaposition of old and new is also evident in both the band members and their playlist. The playing and singing of guitarist/vocalist Demian Lewis is deeply rooted in traditional styles and is set against the sophisticated rhythms of drummer Jason Walker, and the virtuosity of bassist Randy Ball. Together they churn out a vibrant combination of originals, rearranged traditional material, and recognizable standards. |
