Over 50 years of rocking the blues \u2013\nSavoy Brown<\/strong>, with leader Kim Simmonds<\/strong> at the helm, return with ‘City Night’ \u2013\n<\/strong>their 40th<\/sup> album \u2013 which will be released on Friday 7th<\/sup> June 2019<\/strong> via\nQuarto Valley Records (<\/strong>distributed by Proper)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the back of a number one Billboard blues hit in 2017, expectations are high for this new band offering. The album features Kim Simmonds on vocals and searing lead guitar and he is complemented with the most\n consistent line-up in the band\u2019s history, going strong for more than 10 years now with\nPat DeSalvo<\/strong> on bass and Garnet Grimm<\/strong> on drums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘City Night’<\/strong> is comprised of 12 high energy blues rock songs to surely please the worldwide fan base. “Walking On Hot Stones”, \u201cPayback Time” and “Don’t Hang Me Out To Dry” will catch the attention of radio\n DJ’s looking for the fresh new sound Savoy Brown<\/strong> brings to roots music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savoy Brown <\/strong>was formed by guitarist Kim Simmonds<\/strong> in 1965 in London, England. Simmonds has been the group\u2019s guiding hand from the first singles released in 1966 through the band\u2019s newest effort, their fortieth album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energetic blues has been the calling card of the band from the beginning. \u201cBlues rock\u201d became the catch-all phrase in the late 1960s to describe the band\u2019s music along with that of contemporaries such as\nCream<\/strong>, Fleetwood Mac<\/strong> and Jimi Hendrix<\/strong>. In fact, in the 2013 drama film\nJimi Hendrix: All<\/em> Is By My Side<\/em><\/strong>, a Savoy Brown song co-written by Simmonds was included in the soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the band\u2019s singles and albums have appeared on the Billboard charts. Through the 1960s, 1970s and 1980\u2019s songs such as\nI\u2019m Tired<\/em><\/strong>, Train to Nowhere<\/em><\/strong>, Tell Mama<\/strong><\/em> and\nLay Back<\/em><\/strong> In The Arms<\/strong><\/em> Of Someone<\/em><\/strong> became Hot 100 entries. Two of the band\u2019s albums in the 1970s,\nLooking In<\/em><\/strong> and Hellbound Train<\/em><\/strong>, appeared on the Billboard Top Forty charts. This pattern continues today, culminating with\nWitchy Feelin’<\/em><\/strong>, the band\u2019s 2017 album, reaching #1 on the Billboard Blues chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, Savoy Brown has toured continuously, making it one of the longest running blues\/rock bands in existence. Through the years, the band has headlined concerts at many prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, the Fillmore\n East, the Fillmore West and Royal Albert Hall in London. The band, having established national status in the 1970s, provided other groups opportunity. Kiss opened the bill on a Savoy Brown national tour as did\nZZ Top<\/strong>, The Doobie Brothers<\/strong> and many, many more acts.
