The Grey Goose are new kids on the blues block. Formed in 2009 they are fresh and exciting. Having said that, the boys are all experienced blues men. The Geese have made an impact in their first 18 months playing numerous blues clubs and festivals and sharing stages with current blues blues royalty such as Texan, Buddy Whittington, Brit Guitar hero Matt Schofield, Snowy White's Blues project and recently Aynsley Lister. 'Best gigs this year' says Frankie 'were, Buddy Whittington at Robin 2 Bilston and the Upton On Severn Blues Festival'. That was 2010, 2011 has seen the Geese begin to take off. Playing blues festivals in England, Wales and Scotland and the release of their debut album. They also played a live session on BBC Radio WM in July and then followed up with two appearances at the Birmingham Blues festival. The Geese have developed their own style which sits somewhere between T Bone Walker and Little Walter and they are certainly beginning to turn heads with their energy and musicianship. Key to their growing reputation is the songwriting of Frankie Williams. Whilst the Geese are happy to play a selection of blues classics at their shows, their set contains numerous self penned blues songs which sit comfortably amongst the old masters. The Geese have released their debut album in 2011, 'Beat the Devil out of me'. Available on iTunes and CD Baby. Keep your eye on the Geese, they may land near you sometime soon.
