Legendary…a blues/rock institution…true innovators. These are just a few of the ways Savoy Brown has been described over the past forty years by music critics and fans.

One of the earliest of British blues bands, Savoy Brown, with founder guitarist Kim Simmonds at the helm, helped launch the 1967 UK blues boom movement that brought blues music back to the USA invigorating the style forever. In the process, the band became part of the framework that launched the rock and roll music of the 1970’s. Their influence now stretches into modern rock as we know it today.

For more than forty-five years, Savoy Brown has continued to record strong music and bring to audiences incredibly memorable performances. After going through numerous band changes throughout the years, Savoy Brown is once again a power trio unit, led by Kim Simmonds stellar guitar work and vocals, along with Pat DeSalvo on bass and Garnet Grimm on drums.

Kim Simmonds and Savoy Brown will be appearing at The Aladdin Theater, 3017 SE Milwaukie, on Thursday, October 24th for an 8:00 pm show. Tickets are $35.00 and may be purchased in advance through www.ticketfly.com. Minors are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
