BlueTone Festival is a new celebration of jazz, blues, funk and soul, set in the heart of Somerset.
We begin with The Jess Hill Band.
Doors 7pm – Music starts at 8pm
£12 Advance – £15 On the Door
We also will have Wesley Pizza van hear from 6:00pm, why not book a space and make a full night of it.
What started as a few informal jams between friends soon grew into a collective of local musicians brought together by a shared love of great music and a desire to play “not just the regular tunes.”
Drawing from soul, jazz, funk and groove, The Jess Hill Band takes inspiration from icons including George Benson, Anita Baker, Stevie Wonder and Incognito, alongside Brazilian MPB, contemporary artists and some carefully chosen surprises.
Original material is sprinkled throughout, giving the band a sound and personality very much of its own.
Fronted by Jess Hill, the band brings together accomplished musicians from across the local music scene, with an emphasis on musicianship, improvisation and the sheer enjoyment of playing together.
Expect rich vocals, infectious grooves and a set moving comfortably between familiar classics and music you might not hear performed live quite so often.
It’s exactly what BlueTone Sessions is about: great musicians, great songs and plenty of soul.
