The John Doe Trio are taking the UK Blues music scene by storm with their electrifying sound and powerhouse performances. Fronted by the uber-talented guitarist, Phil Woollett, the trio also boasts his son Ben Woollett on bass and Paul Townsend on drums – together creating a dynamic and tight-knit sound like no other.
Formed in 2013, the band has been on a steady rise since, wowing audiences across the country and earning critical acclaim for their music. With a fusion of traditional blues and contemporary influences, the John Doe Trio have a sound that appeals to both die-hard blues fans and a younger, more modern audience. Their latest album, ‘III’, is a testament to the trio’s growth and passion for creating music that resonates with listeners. The album features all original tracks, written by Phil himself, and showcases his unique storytelling ability.
The upbeat and funky ‘Tales of the Modern Day Curse’ touches on the struggles of living in a technologically advanced world, while the emotional ‘Tears in the Wind’ sheds light on the harsh realities of mental illness. Paying homage to his late son, ‘Little J’ is a beautiful instrumental track that captures the essence of youth and hope for the future. The band’s talent and success have not gone unnoticed, with over 100,000 streams worldwide and a 2020 Blues Album of the Year win under their belt. But for the J.D Trio, it’s all about the music and sharing their love for the blues. With their new album ‘III’ set for release in January 2025, the trio is ready to rock the scene once again and reach new heights of recognition and success.
