Strange Brew are a four-piece Blues Band based in the south-west of England. They comprise Tony Veste (bass), Martin Clough (drums), Kris Richards (guitar) and Mark McGlennon (vocals/guitar). Strange Brew was re-formed in 2006 by Tony Veste and Kris Richards. The idea behind the band was to take influences of Blues music from the pre and post war American Deep South, along with modern blues influences, and combine them to create a unique style, which includes not just Blues, but Funk and Jazz. |
