The Melvin Hancox Band make a welcome return to Joe Joe Jims on Saturday 1st February for another great evening of “blues/rock played with more psychedelic experience and imagination than most“!

Melvin has had a varied musical career from securing his first record deal at 16 to forming Joe Joe Jims favourites Vincent Flatts Final Drive and working with Budgie, Man, Tony McPhee, Canned Heat and the Ace Kefford, among many others, and now fronts his own band – featuring local legend Tony Baylis on drums – playing classic rock and blues numbers with their own twist. Their extended version of Freebird (yes, it is possible to extend the guitar solo!) formed a show stopping finale to their last gig and we’re glad they could fit us into their hectic schedule.

We can guarantee this show will be one not to miss.

Status Quo tribute band Quo Motion return to Joe Joe Jims on Friday 21st February for what will be another great night of heads down, no-nonsense blues boogie – the boys play a great mix of their 70s/early 80s rock classics so think more Roll Over Lay Down than Marguerita Time!

On Saturday 22nd February we welcome Californian country-rock singer songwriter Deanna Wheeler to Joe Joe Jims plus support from the New Arkansans.

Deanna Wheeler is a USAF Veteran with an incredible story of survival whose vocal style melds the sounds of a fiery gypsy and classic rock ballads (think Stevie Nicks!). Deanna commands the stage, armed with leather & lace, and a powerhouse vocal. As a singer/songwriter, her lyrics are inspired by a fight-or-flight Wounded Warrior attitude. There’s no missin’ that fire when she crosses your path!

Opening the show are the excellent New Arkansans who are a Newark based rock and roll outfit, “hellbent on delivering hair, tunes, and good times to the masses“. Folk rock and southern soul meet powerhouse British vocals provided by Rosie ‘Zita Corazon’ Corcoran (a fellow Brummie no less!) on vocals and Kelso Gin Whitney on guitar, harmonica and harmonies.

So, make a date in your diary for a great night of music from two acts destined for the big time!
