50 plus years after the band formed in London, Savoy Brown are still rocking. One of the first bands from the UK, after The Rolling Stones, to re-invent the blues in the mid-sixties, the band is led by guitarist Kim Simmonds who continues to perform, record and influence today.
Modern rock music had its roots in the 1960’s while bands, such as Savoy Brown, helped lay the foundation by combining blues, rock and psychedelia.
The band is a veritable history of music and musicians, with multiple former members going on to form bands such as Foghat, or to play for groups such as Fleetwood Mac, Black Sabbath, The Kinks and many more. Founding member, Kim Simmonds, has a star on the Rock Walk of Fame and is recognized globally as one of the world’s finest blues rock players.
Many of the band’s original songs continue to be played on radio, TV and in movies. Shows including CSI”, HBOs Vinyl and a recent Jimi Hendrix movie biopic, gave life once again to Billboard hits such as “Tell Mama” and “Train To Nowhere.” These songs, and many others from their nearly fifty album releases, all hit high on the Billboard charts while Top 40 albums, such as Hellbound Train, made the band a major concert headline act.
Savoy Brown has headlined on all the world’s finest stages, including the Royal Albert Hall, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall and both Fillmores.
