Liverpool garage blues-rock six-piece The Heavy North play The Live Rooms in Room L1, marking the restart of their UK tour's second phase.
The Heavy North play The Live Rooms in Chester on Saturday 15 May, in Room L1. They're a six-piece garage blues-rock outfit from Liverpool, formed in late 2018, and this date is part of a UK tour steered by Whispering Pines Collective. The collective books intimate venues to keep the focus on the band's direct live sound, and the Chester show is billed as the restart of the tour's second phase.
Their sound pairs heavy, soulful, vinyl-ready energy with contemporary indie grit, drawing comparisons to The Black Keys, Jack White and Alabama Shakes. They released their debut studio album, Electric Soul Machine, in 2022 and have since caught the attention of BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, Radio X, BBC Introducing, Classic Rock Magazine and Tim's Twitter Listening Party. That's led to headline shows at venues like London's 100 Club and Liverpool's Cavern Club.
The current line-up is Kenny Stuart on vocals, Jose Ibanez and Jack Birch on guitars, George Favager on bass, Mark Rice on drums and Ste Penn on keys. With two guitars and keys in the mix, there's plenty of room for the heavier, soulful side of things to sit alongside the grit.
