Kent-based blues rock band, Big River, release their new single ‘Wings’ on 20^th October.

Big River vocalist, Adam Barron: “Written by bass player Simon Gardiner, ‘Wings’ has a soulful gospel feel with a country twang. Heartfelt melody and lyrics lead on to an explosive feelgood outro where lead guitarist Damo Fawsett gets to let loose and let his fast fingers fly! It’s been going down a storm live and is fast becoming one of the favourite songs of the set.”

Big River are: Adam Barron (vocals), Damo Fawsett (guitar), Simon Gardiner (bass), Joe Martin (drums/backing vocals).

Formed back in 2016 and influenced by the classic blues-rock sounds of bands like Bad Company and Free, Big River have gone from strength to strength in recent years, building up a solid fanbase through their live gigging, performing at legendary venues like London’s The 100 Club and supporting a number of big-name artists.

The band’s debut album, Redemption, came out in 2019 and was followed up by the four-track EP, Beautiful Trauma, in 2022. The latter was the first with lead vocalist, Adam Barron (ex Mick Ralphs Blues Band), and bass-player, Simon Gardiner, and secured the band enthusiastic reviews and radio play across the UK, Europe and the US. A follow-up EP is scheduled for release in early 2024.

The single ‘Wings’ is released on 20^th October on all the main digital platforms.
