Renowned Detroit blues musician Paul Lamb will perform in Whitehaven this April.  

Detroit-based rocker Paul Lamb has been a mainstay on the UK circuit for the best part of a decade. On his latest tour, Paul has teamed up with guitar maestro Adam Fuest to deliver a roots-inflected, gutsy set of acoustic blues. The tour takes the pair to Whitehaven’s Lowther Club on Sunday 29 April, where music lovers can expect to experience the sounds of the dark heart of Detroit. 

Paul Lamb is very much the product of his environment. Growing up in a city with such a rich musical history, it was inevitable that he would soak up the blues, funk and soul of his surroundings before creating his own inimitable blend of Detroit rock. 

“I learned a lot in the early years,” explained Paul, who cut his teeth in the sweat-soaked R&B clubs of his hometown. “Most importantly, I learned how to craft a song.” 

From there, Paul’s music has taken him out of the bars of Detroit to huge stages around the world, where he has wowed audiences with his virtuoso guitar and knack for storytelling, sometimes solo, sometimes ably backed by his band, The Detroit Breakdown.  

Paul’s song writing craft has led him to share stages with rock greats such as Walter Trout and Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green, performing at Glastonbury and countless other European festivals along the way. And he has the blues to thank for it, he added: “Blues music is emotion in its purest form. It’s everything to me.” 

On his latest UK tour, Paul is accompanied by accomplished guitarist and legendary producer Adam Fuest, who has previously worked with The Cure, Babyshambles and Mott The Hoople. The pair are looking forward to hitting the road and taking their signature sound to new audiences, in support of Paul’s new album ‘Fly In4Mation’. 

“I’m going to love doing this tour,” explained Adam.  

Paul added: “The endless travel brings new adventures.” 

It’s safe to say that we’re very much looking forward to it too. 

Paul Lamb and Adam Fuest will be performing at The Lowther Club, Whitehaven on 29 April at 8PM. For further information call 01946 692396
