‘Candlelight Blues’ show to feature award winning No.1 Blues Chart artist

Trevor Babajack Steger, an award-winning singer-songwriter from Gloucestershire is performing a solo ‘Candlelight Blues’ session on Thursday 12th November at The Crooked Crow Bar, Leighton Buzzard’s independent events venue.

This year, Trevor, who was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, has had sold-out shows across the UK and Europe. He toured Portugal, France and Norway and has a tour of Italy lined up for 2027. Five UK Blues and folk festivals also booked him during the year with seven already lined up for next year. He was awarded ‘UK Blues Acoustic Act of the Year’ in 2023. Instruments of choice include harmonica, National guitar, lap steel, and more, creating a sound that defies categorization – he has even crafted some of his guitars himself. When he sings, his growling vocals contain raw, ferocious energy in a unique and ‘difficult to categorise’ style. His music just demands to be experienced live as he shifts effortlessly from haunting and atmospheric to the gritty and foot-stomping.

Trevor’s album, 'SIX FOOT TEN', was released February 1st 2025 - it topped the UK Blues charts. This was his fifth solo album and the first to reach the number 1 chart position. It was recorded on his narrowboat – the title referencing the vessels width! He has also released three albums with ‘Babajack’ – a name that arose from his time working with the Shona people in Mashonaland East Province, Zimbabwe. In Shona custom the father takes his son's name, so Steger became known as 'Babajack' (the Father of Jack – quite logic when you think about it). He’s been recording a new album in 2026 so expect to hear new material from that.

His music receives airplay on countless stations worldwide with Cerys Matthews on BBC Radio 2 championing him and Tom Robinson on BBC 6 playing it in the UK.

These Crooked Crow Bar ‘Candlelight Sessions’ are becoming popular, not only for the top musicians that perform, but also for the legendary cheese boards that are available to accompany the wine, imported Bitburger German bier, Tring Ale or Pimms!

Tickets can be booked on The Crooked Crow Bar website at just £8 each (plus booking fee) at Candlelight Sessions | The Crooked Crow Bar. Sessions are seated with tables and for over 18’s only.
