The Cadillac Kings

Firm favourites on the blues, r&b, rock & roll & swing dance scenes, The Cadillac Kings feature five of the UK's top roots musicians. Mike Thomas: vocals, harmonica, slide guitar, Mal Barclay: lead guitar, vocals, Tim Penn: piano, accordion, vocals,  Jason Reay: drums and Paul Cuff: double bass & Fender bass. Inspired by early rhythm & blues styles with a distinctly modern take lyric-wise, this is a band that has earned a reputation for wowing audiences from night clubs to festivals, from theatres to dance halls, the length & breadth of the UK & Europe, from the Canary Islands to the Arctic circle. 

Since their formation in 2000 the band has opened shows for & shared stages with blues, rock & roots acts such as John Mayall, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Rod Piazza, Lazy Lester, Magic Slim,   Lil' Ed & His Blues Imperials, RJ Mischo, Louisiana Red, Larry Garner, Nappy Brown, Sherman Robertson, Victor Wainwright, Reba Russell, Little Feat & Delbert McLinton to name but a few! 

Along the way the band has picked up numerous awards including The London Times Newspaper’s best blues cd of the year 2004 for ‘Highway 17’ (33WM131) See Times' list pic below. And in 2009 Canada’s ‘Real Blues’ Magazine's awarded them best non-American cd of the year for "Trouble in Store" (33WM145). Their 2012 release “Gonna Tell Your Momma” (33WM147) was recorded 100% live in Norway and has had rave reviews at home and abroad.
