An Evening with Rocco DeLuca
+Lucky Jim+The Boy Lacks Patience

£7.50 (£5 concessions and Regulars)
Doors open: 7.30pm Show starts: 8pm

Box Office: 01224 642230

The expansive, evocative twang of the acoustic dobro guitar forms the foundation, the cornerstone of Rocco DeLuca's music, the initial ripple that flows from the heart of the Delta blues in ever-widening circles to the most modern rock & roll.

DeLuca's debut Ironworks Music album bares that soul and lets the blood flow through its tracks, a blues-based journey from its birthplace on the Mississippi ("Dope") through its electrification in the juke joints of Chicago ("Get Out") and its psychedelic British '60s revival ("Swing Low") to the trip-hoppin' future ("Favor"). Imagine Robert Johnson and Elmore James, Neil Young fronting the Stones, Jeff Buckley dueting with Beck.

Music is part of DeLuca's genetic make-up. He learned to play from his hippie father Dan, a wild-living blues-rock guitarist who toured with the likes of Bo Diddley and the Coasters, whose constant roadwork and dalliances with both Hell's Angels and drugs left young Rocco to be raised by his grandmother. His mother, whom he only met for the first time two years ago, was also a '60s casualty.

"All my dad's records had a hole in the upper right-hand corner from when my mom tried to shoot him and the bullet went right through his collection," laughs DeLuca. "My father was an electric guitar player, but I wanted to go to the source, the beginning. On that acoustic stuff, the lyrics were more felt, the playing more primitive, the effect more powerful."

On the basis of his debut effort, expect Rocco DeLuca to settle in for a long stay.
