The collaboration between award-winning harmonica player/blues singer Mat Walklate and singer/guitarist Alex Haynes brings out the best in both artists. The pair blend their personalities and styles to create relevant music with a vibrant core of authenticity.

“The duo achieves the unlikely feat of pushing the boundaries of the Blues... whilst also sounding like they are keepers of the traditional down-home Blues flame... excellent amplified blues harp playing... fine vocals by both men.”
