3am – the rockingest blues band in the UK!
A superbly tight band fronted by powerful and emotive female vocals, this band loves to entertain. Writing their own shatteringly powerful lyrics set to music that has inspired critics to write about how 3am ‘defines what the Blues is all about’, they happily mix these new songs in with subtle re-arrangements of classic songs from the likes of Big Mama Thornton, Etta James, Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Ray Charles and Tina Turner, along with more modern favourites from Paul Weller, Duffy, Portishead, Beth Hart, Imelda May, Alana Morriset, Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse . Constantly pushing the boundaries of what is generally recognised as ‘The Blues’ – endlessly creative – this experienced band will have you rocking away to new songs you feel are already etched into your bones!
The band has its roots in the rock scene of the 1970’s, which is when brothers Tim and Andy Renton were the driving force behind rock band ‘Reign’ in London. They went on to join Mike Batt and performed as the Wombles on Top of the Pops nine times, touring Europe for radio and TV, including 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. In 2004 they joined up again to start 3am which became a six-piece, with buddy Chris Parren (ex-Strawbs and SO many others!) on keys.
