About
Much-feted singer and veteran pianist Tim Penn is one of the leading ‘go to’ musicians on the London Blues & Roots scene. Back in the the 70’s he played with the legendary Dorris Henderson’s Eclection and was in the Kevin Coyne Band alongside Andy Summers (The Police), before becoming bandleader of one of London’s top New Orleans influenced R&B outfits, The Second Line. The band will take you on a magical journey through 20th Century American jazz and blues, referencing all the greats from Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Alan Toussaint and the Neville Brothers, through the New Orleans’ piano masters such as Fats Domino, Professor Longhair and Dr John, to Ray Charles, Tom Waits and Tim's own funky compositions. ...
