We proudly present (bookings for Holland and Belgium only):
Philippe Ménard (FR)
After
17 years spent on the road with his blues rock trio Tequila,
Philippe
Menard, lead guitar and singer of the band, felt that it was time
for him to go and start a new musical experience .
So, he decided to play alone, as a One Man Band, using guitar, harp,
bass drum, snare, tambourine, hi-hat and cymbal altogether.
Ever
since his first album “Hungry Dog”, in 1995, Philippe invites us to share
his own vision of the Blues, respectful to all the precursors of
the one man band style (such as Dr Isaiah Ross, Jesse Fuller, ….), but
also faithful to the spirit of his own 60's/70's background and to
his heroes (Rory Gallagher, George Thorogood, Johnny Winter, Jimi
Hendrix,….).
While alternating covers and his own songs during his shows, Philippe
plays and sings with overflowing energy and an amazing sincerity
which won’t let you feel unconcerned . Simply get the groove,
and…..boogie on !!!
