Bridport’s own Stompin’ Dave is joined by one of the UK’s top rock n roll artists. Join us for a very special night of rockin’ blues, and more, with The Stompin’ Dave & Earl Jackson Trio.

In 2012 Dave and Earl were encouraged to perform together by Blues Matters Lifetime Achievement Award recipient promoter Monica Madgwick. They have since given barnstorming performances together at blues and rock ‘n’ roll festivals, art centres, and music clubs nationwide and abroad.

Described as “one of the world’s greatest performers” by Maverick Magazine, Bridport based multi instrumentalist Stompin’ Dave is perhaps best known for his madcap flatfoot dancing and award winning banjo picking. With which Dave has garnered appearances at many festivals include some major ones such as Glastonbury, Camp Bestival, and Bestival.

Alongside Dave’s adventures in banjo music he has found time to release many well received blues albums and has made regular performances at blues festivals and clubs.

Dave is a former member of former UK blues band of the year The Producers. He was nominated for a British Blues Award in the acoustic act category 2014.

“Stompin’ Dave is a master of all kinds of American Roots music…a formidable musician and a true original.” The Daily Telegraph.

“In other parts of the world they have cyclones, tornados and hurricanes, in the UK we have Stompin’ Dave…a phenomenal artist” Blues In The South

Based in Farnham, Surrey, Earl Jackson is a well known figure on the blues and rock n’ roll circuits. Earl has been in great demand for many years, performing across the UK and Europe. He has made appearances on BBC radio and TV including the Jonathan Ross show.

Born of Jamaican parents in Lambeth in 1964, Earl was heavily influenced by Gospel music. Much of his charisma and on-stage confidence comes from performing before ten thousand people or more at various gospel events.

“Entertainment with a capital ‘e’“ The Mad Rat Magazine.

Earl was awarded Best Blues Singer 2017 by The Jools Holland Boisdale Music Awards.

With his work with Boogaloo Promotions Earl has been a tireless promoter of blues and rock n roll music hosting countless events. As well as his powerful vocals, and outstanding guitar work, Earl is a fantastic electric bass player, and drummer.
