Vocoustics is Three Years Old!
So a small celebration of the past 3 years of non-sense is the following:



The Fortunate Sons are knee deep in country and blues, stained from the filthy banks of the River Clyde.

"These Guys are Fuckin' Great!" Steve Van Zandt, The E-Street Band

Sharing a mutual love of roots, rhythm and blues, Sam West, Calum McCann, Michael Law and Graham McGeoch formed The Fortunate Sons in a smoky west end flat in 2005.

Creating an underground buzz with Friday and Saturday night residencies in Glasgow, they cut their teeth in the early hours of the morning playing folk and blues in dark and dirty venues.

After a great 2006, the band have now started work on their debut album due for release in June and are in increasing demand for festivals in the UK and Europe.

"A 21st Century Delta Blues Explosion" Kim Fowley
"Watch out for these guys, they are an amazing live band" Real Radio
"Stand Out" The List
"Blues tinged finesse ... haunting harmonies ... unique" The Evening Times
"These guys are cracking....great songs, great musicians" Carol Laula
"Impressive" Ricky Ross
"The Fortunate Sons are great!" Tom Morton BBC Radio Scotland
"Sounds like crocodiles coming out of the clyde" Iain Anderson, Radio Scotland
"I saw The Fortunate Sons last month and cant stop raving about them" Clyde 1 FM
"The feel of Canned Heat" Nick Lowe, Radio Scotland
"A voice like Paul Rogers" Janice Forsyth, Radio Scotland

Is that quote from Steve Van Zandt genuine? 'Cause nothing would make me want to see a band more than a recommendation from Silvio Dante.

Even if they made it up I'm sure he'd agree. They were cracking the last time they were up
