Alvin Youngblood Hart is the cosmic love child of Howlin Wolf and Link Wray; a master of the blues and beyond. He is aGrammy Award winner, a WC Handy Blues Winner, a two-timeLiving Blues award winner and has even won the Downbeat Critics' Award for Best Blues album. He performs so much more than traditional blues however, and with his scorching trio, 'Muscle Theory', he'll take you on a transformative musical journey that you can dance to.
Since the release of his 1996 debut recording, "Big Mama's Door" his praises have been sung by everyone from Bob Dylan to Eric Clapton & Mick Taylor. A devout follower of the “no barriers” approach carved out by veteran performers like Gatemouth Brown and the late/great Doug Sahm, Hart is always challenging the so-called purists, bringing the blues to a new generation every time he plays. Charley Patton would approve of his version of "Pony Blues" and his cover of "Gallows Pole" is the coolest since Led Zeppelin’s.
A personal career highlight occurred in the summer of 2008 when Hart met the late Irish guitar legend Gary Moore. Moore invited Hart, a lifelong Thin Lizzy fan, onstage to jam with himself and original Thin Lizzy drummer, Brian Downey. In the Spring of 2009 Moore requested Hart’s band as the opening act on a tour of Germany. Moore was seen offstage most every night with friends, cheering Hart’s band along during their set.
With Alvin on guitar & lead vocals, Fabio Drusin on bass & vocals and Silvano "Silver" Bassi on Drums, Alvin Youngblood Hard and the Muscle Theory Band will rock your world and leave you wanting more. Be prepared for anything. They play trhe blues, but they move way beyond the narrow boundaries of tradition.
