Until his death in 2017, Jerimiah Marques was a favourite on the British blues scene. After winning the nationally televised 'Banks Best of British Blues' competition he was an in-demand performer at clubs and festivals throughout the UK and overseas. For his pnly major album release 'Winning Hand' Jerimiah paired with his regular accompanists, the Blue Aces!
The album is drawn from the stage repertoire on which his reputation was built; blues played with fire, passion and skill... always better heard than described. Everything you hear was recorded live in the studio and conveys the excitement and commitment that made Jerimiah Marques and the Blue Aces one of the most in demand and rebooked acts on the scene! In addition to Jerimiah on vocals and percussion the band features; Lewis Fielding guitar Laurie Garman harmonica Orlando Shearer and Matt Radford bass Brian Nevill drums The shared credits of these individuals would fill a book, but most importantly they logged up countless stage hours as a unit behind Jerimiah so that the recorded performances on 'Winning Hand' have a freshness and cohesion that make it a truly remarkable album and a potential classic of the genre!
