A true
student of the Blues, Youlden discusses the influences and experiences
that helped him develop into one of music's most exciting and
unique performers, all while remaining true to his Blues

Kim Simmonds - Savoy Brown
One of the founding fathers of British Blues,
Kim Simmonds is a true pioneer whose contributions to the evolution of Blues-Rock, as the founder and driving force behind
Savoy
Brown, are as critical to rock history as fellow UK luminaries like Clapton, Page, Beck and Green. As an exclusive member in this elite group of British guitarists,
Simmonds' influence was critical in molding the
Rock and
Roll landscape of the late sixties and seventies.
With a superb body of work that spans four decades, Simmonds' love for the Blues remains as strong today as it was when he first discovered the magic of Blues masters like Earle Hooker and Willie Dixon as a teenager. A true believer in the power of music, his excitement and passion as a musician, performer and fan, comes through in near palpable waves.
