Video Description:
London's Premier Blues Band "The Hipshakers". The Hipshakers feature Adam "BottleNeck" Blake on guitar and vocals and Steve "BluesHarp" Counsel on Harmonica and vocals, they could best be described as London's answer to Buddy Guy and Junior Wells although they cover a wide breadth of blues influences. Blake is an amazing lead guitarist in the great British Blue Boom tradition completely at home in the Chicago style whether it be Elmore James, JB Hutto, Jimmy Rogers or Magic Sam he is also a major exponent of the delta blues slide style of Mississippi Fred McDowell, a long time sideman in the Errol Linton Blues Band, Blake has toured extensively and recorded several albums. Steve "BluesHarp" Counsel was born and raised in London but lived and worked in the states for over 20 years, he formed and led the Los Angeles Blues band the Homewreckers (by the way none of the bands that are calling themselves that on myspace etc have any connection with this particular band). The HomeWreckers at times featured Craig Ross (Lenny Kravitz Band) and Marc Ford (The Black Crowes) and Eddie Munoz (Plimsouls). They released a critically acclaimed CD "Out Of The Shadow's," on New York indie Viceroy Records in 1994 produced by Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown, which was also released in Europe though Viceroys German based subsidiary. Ira Robbins Of New York Newsday describe Counsel as a "Harmonica Powerhouse".
