Candles, cheeseboards and wine – and fantastic blues music from Robert J Hunter – another great ‘Candlelight Blues Session’ at The Crooked Crow Bar!


Leighton Buzzards’ independent entertainment venue ‘The Crooked Crow Bar’ launched their ‘Candlelight Blues Sessions’ last Christmas with a sell-out performance from the brilliant Robert J Hunter – so what better that to do this again this Christmas.
We’re delighted Robert has agreed to return to entertain you Thursday 11th December with his gruff vocals and memorable guitar riffs to make a memorable evening out. For this Christmas show hot spiced apple and boozy hot chocolate will also be available to accompany ‘sharing’ cheese boards!
Alderney born Robert J. Hunter has been taking the blues and Americana scene by storm in recent years with his gruff, powerful voice and the wild thud of overdriven foot stomping guitar. His unique sound echoes Rory Gallagher, John Martyn, Glen Hansard, The Faces, Free, The Black Crowes, Rolling Stones, The Band, The Who and The Eagles!
Robert, he’s now a resident in Bedfordshire, has become a ‘Crooked Crow’ favourite over the past few years. His lyrical prowess will take you on an emotional and personal journey. His persistent touring, showcasing a truly original blend of genre-bending blues, rock n’ roll and Americana is turning heads across the UK and Europe. Robert has supported the likes of Wilko Johnson, The Animals, the Kris Barras Band and Sari Schorr to name a few.
His latest album ‘Nothing But Rust’ was released in 2021 – so there must be another one soon! This and previous releases, ‘Stir All Night’, ‘Hurricane’, ‘Suitcase Blues’ and ‘Good People’ have all received rave reviews worldwide. With his band he has achieved great success reaching number one in the iTunes Blues Chart on several occasions and have earned national radio play on BBC Radio 2, BBC Introducing, Planet Rock. Whispering Bob Harris from BBC Radio 2 when reviewing the band said “An incredibly exciting act on the blues scene, you’re going to really love them.”
