The Rigmarollers

The Rigmarollers
"Best gig of the festival. You totally nailed it."

The Rigmarollers pack out exhilarating shows with their unique take on the blues. They're a popular live band with regular festival headliner slots and an ever growing following.
​​​​
Their songs get national radio play, on Cerys Matthews' BBC Radio 2 Blues Show, and Jazz FM's Blues & Boogie.
​​
Their third album will be out later this year, preceded by a new single later this summer.
​​​​
Second album 21st Century Speakeasy included the popular singles The Duke of Rent and Mr Crawfish. 
A trio with a massive sound, they put vocals, harmonica, guitar and sousaphone over an irresistible backbeat — it's Original Blues with a New Orleans groove.
They are Ed Hopwood on vocals, harmonica and percussion, Julian Marshall on guitar, and Ewan Penkey on sousaphone.
Together they bring the party wherever they play.
The Rigmarollers have been selling out gigs across London and the UK for the last seven years. Their festival CV includes: Sidmouth Jazz & Blues, Fire in the Mountain, Ealing Blues, Gloucester Cajun & Zydeco, The Idler, Purbeck Valley, Upton Blues, Bath & West Show, Bimble Bandada, Leek Blues & Americana, among many others. ​​​​
