Burning Hands

Raw harmonica out front, a guitarist with serious chops, and a double bass and drums cooking away underneath: Burning Hands play roots and dance music shaped by the old Delta and Chicago blues. It's music from another era, played for people to move to rather than sit through. That suits a dance floor, a beer garden or a festival crowd happy to stomp along. The band describe themselves as raised on brownsnake venom and moonshine, a line that sums up the swagger nicely. Book them when you want something grittier than the usual party covers.
