The Blues Caravan keeps on rolling with an extensive international tour that includes four dates in the UK this autumn.

And the good news is, The Iron Road in Pershore will be a stop, on a lucky Friday September 13.

A spokesman said: "In a shifting music industry, you can rely on the tour as the gold-standard for modern blues. This year – just like every year since the first trek back in 2005 – you can expect a night of house-rocking live music, as three unique artists hit the stage at clubs across the US and Europe. It’s your first glimpse of the scene’s hottest tips – before they become supernovas

"Ina Forsman is no stranger to anyone who’s serious about modern blues. The Finland-born belter lit up the Blues Caravan back in 2016, when we first heard her head-turning smoky vocal and the material from that year’s acclaimed self-titled debut album (dubbed “joyous” by Classic Rock). This time, Ina returns to the Caravan with the speaker-rattling soul, blues, Latin and acid-jazz flavours of her upcoming second album, Been Meaning To Tell You.

She said: "I’ll be bringing a bunch of as-yet-unheard songs, as well as some funky hidden treasures from back in the day. It’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime tour, full of raw female power.”

And they don’t come much more powerful than Ally Venable. Adding her modern twist to the proud heritage of Texas blues, "this Lone Star State gunslinger has gathered armfuls of awards for her burn-it-down guitar style". Belgrade.

The spokesman added: "Katarina Pejak will bring her soulful piano-playing, purred jazz vocal and sneak previews of the material set to appear on her forthcoming album. She’ll have the crowd in her hand."
