** Sherman Robertson Band UK Dates **
The Sherman Robertson Band will be touring the UK once again in November and December.

2009 sees Sherman Robertson teaming up once again with legendary producer, Mike Vernon (John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton, Freddie King, Fleetwood Mac, and David Bowie).  The new album, to be released around the summer of 2009, will be Mike Vernon’s first recording project for twelve years and Sherman Robertson’s first studio recording since the late 1990’s. Sherman Robertson’s music tempted the great producer of the British Blues scene out of retirement after he saw Sherman perform an incendiary show at the Antequerra blues festival in Spain earlier this year.

NOVEMBER FESTIVALS – TENBY, CARLISLE & HOWDEN:

** Tenby Blues Festival **
Tenby Blues Festival, now in its third successful year, keeps on getting better and better. The 2008 line-up has just been announced and already demand for tickets is higher than ever. 
Not surprising really when the headliners for concerts in the main festival venue, the De Valence Chevron stage, on Friday and Saturday night, are renowned American blues stars Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges and Sherman Robertson. 
Sherman Roberston always delivers a rocking show steeped in swamp blues and Zydeco whilst Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges plays guitar like BB King yet sings like Sam Cooke. Unforgettable! 
The second venue, a few yards along Tenby’s bustling Frog Street, will be the Rugby Club, home to the FBM Acoustic Stage for evening and lunchtime concerts, featuring acts as exciting as Johnny Dickinson, the UK’s leading slide guitar player, plus the sensational Sean Webster Band. 
Other acts scheduled to appear include stars of the 2007 festival The Oli Brown Band and The Spikedrivers plus many exciting newcomers such as Big Mamma’s Door and Abie Budgen.. 
Check out the website http://www.tenbyblues.co.uk for full performance times, ticket prices, travel info and accommodation details. You’ll also discover what else is going on throughout the weekend in this delightful west Wales seaside town including the FREE Pub ‘n’ Club Blues Trail that has been carefully programmed so blues fans can spend the whole weekend doing what they love – enjoying the blues in all its wonderful forms. Mind you, you are in one of the most beautiful and historic parts of the UK so you might like to do a bit of sightseeing too – the choice is yours!
