Blues guitarist Oli Brown and his new hard rock trio, RavenEye, play exclusively live for The Blues Magazine Show

Blues guitar hero Oli Brown has taken a hard rock turn with his latest band and debut EP, Breaking Out. Though, it’s a move that’s won him a few new friends, including Slash and singer Myles Kennedy.

After a successful European stint supporting the former G N’ R guitar god, and before a Canadian and US tour with Slash this autumn, Oli Brown told The Blues Magazine Show presenter Big Boy Bloater: “It was tough driving a thirty-eight hour shift to Romania, but so worth it. As Myles told us, ‘you’re driving and doing it tough, but these are the years you remember, savour it, keep a diary’, and so we did.”

The Breaking Out EP is available now.

Listen to The Blues Magazine Show on The TeamRock Radio App, available for Android and iOS on the App Store and Google Play.
