The Kendall Connection are spearheaded by frontman guitarist, singer-songwriter Nick Kendall, who along with band members Steve Holness (keyboards), Greg Hagger (bass), and Tom Clare (drums), are some of the UK's finest session musicians who have over the last decade performed with some of the biggest names in music. For example, 10cc, Tony Hadley, Paul Weller, Brian May, Gordon Giltrap, and Alice Cooper to name a few.
With blues-rock at the heart, The Kendall Connection take influence from a variety of artists and genres. Think Robben Ford, Brad Paisley, Mike Stern and Don Henley, meets Pink Floyd, Tedeschi Trucks, Joe Bonamassa and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Nick says: "I aim to create songs that are both challenging and exciting for us to play as musicians, while still connecting lyrically and emotionally with a wider audience.
The four joined forces in late 2016 and have since released two albums, their debut being reviewed by Blues Matters Magazine as “one of the best debut albums this reviewer has heard in a long time”.
The Kendall Connection’s songs are packed with crafted musicianship, faultless riffs and emotive lyrics, which showcase the band as exceptional rock musicians and skilled songwriters.
They recently supported Jools Holland on tour and Kendall is very excited to bring his own band to The Stables for the first time, where he regularly performs as the guitarist with the band GO NOW! performing the music of The Moody Blues.
Come and join The Kendall Connection for a night of blues tinted rock with a touch of jazz, country, and funk thrown into the mix!
