Dave Simpson Trio

Some Details...

The Dave Simpson Trio is a Blues / Rock band that also doubles up as a Jimi Hendrix Tribute Band and has gone from strength to strength in the past year with the new drummer John Joe Gaskin who was the missing link.
The Trio consists of Johnny Simpson on Bass Guitar, John Joe Gaskin on Drums and Dave Simpson on Guitar & Vocals.
Dave's Hendrixian guitar style is totally different to most guitarists approach. There is no barrier between Dave and his guitar and it is just another voice that he calls upon to deliver what he wants to say. Although this can be hard to hear sometimes but the control he has over feedback and the noises he creates with the guitar come straight out of Jimi Hendrix's mind.
Johnny Simpsons cool grove sit right on the beat and John Joe is a versatile drummer and loves challenges and plays off Dave's guitar work flawlessly just like Mitch Mitchell did with Jimi hendrix .
There is almost a unspoken language between the band during shows and this leads to every Trio show being completely different as the band flow seamlessly though songs from artists like Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Jeff Healey, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Joe Bonamassa.
The Trio also play some original material scattered throughout the set just to change it up a bit and to let the audience hear something they've never heard before.
