“England’s five-piece Storm Warning bring a contemporary feel to classic blues and blues-rock…. Bob Moore ’s guitar work is tasteful.” - Blues Revue USA
Drummer Roger Willis is a very experienced musician and was a member of Capability Brown. Remember that band? No?! LOL! He has also worked on albums with bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Storm Warning play contemporary blues/rock the way it should be played.” This is a tight, classy band and in an ideal world would be any decent music promoter’s dream. This band would wipe the floor with the many plastic, disingenuous bands that are conning people for far too many years now. “Breaking Out” is a great album of contemporary blues and rock with traditional elements and jazzy overtones which deservedly scored 10/10 in Blues In Britain. The famed BBC Radio 2 DJ, Paul Jones including a track from ”Breaking Out” on his show which attracted a lot of public interest and the band was invited back to record a live session. This album is the real deal and is HR by A.O.O.F.C.

The band is scheduled to record a live session for the show to be broadcast in June 2006. Though generally classified within the blues-rock genre, Storm Warning is a band of five diverse influences that happens to make distinctive, exciting contemporary blues music. The blues are the heart of the sound, but the blues is a form that changes its shape and character to suit whoever is playing it. Storm Warning has a unique sound, mixing blues and rock with a little jazz and one that seems to have a wide appeal. The blues harmonica of Son Maxwell shares the lead with the jazz and rock-influenced guitar of Bob Moore, with the classic Hammond and piano sounds of Ian Salisbury adding an additional blues-based dimension. Drummer Roger Willis, formerly with Capability Brown, and bassist Derek White complete the line-up, forming what The Blues Band bass man Gary Fletcher described as “an ace rhythm section.” Among the original compositions are an instrumental, ‘Upton Strut’, and six songs featuring lyrics by Son Maxwell. The covers are a funky version of Peter Green’s ‘Long Grey Mare’ and Keb Mo’s ‘Dangerous Mood’, both popular features of the band’s live set. Storm Warning are gaining much critical acclaim with their debut cd ‘Breaking Out’ and their powerful live and dynamic show. The band look set to a great rise in popularity during 2006 as more and more people world wide, discover the band and their music. © http://cdbaby.com
