The Blues Broers pride themselves on producing an exceptionally fine, versatile and diverse live show. New drummer Tim Rankin brings his considerable experience to the rhythm section. Rob Nagel (fondly known as Big Bob or Harpdog Bob) deftly juggles bass, harmonica and tea chest.The impeccable Albert Frost performs on a classic selection of electric and acoustic guitars whilst in a corner of the stage, keyboard player Simon Orange hammers a boogie-woogie for the crowd.Known in the 90s as South Africa's hardest working blues band, the Blues Broers played hundreds of gigs at festivals,in bars and in nightclubs. However, the death of drummer Frank Frost in 1999 was a blow from which the band struggled to recover and in 2003 they put on a farewell gig in Stellenbosch.Now, snappily attired in their trademark black suits and dark glasses, the Blues Broers are back in circulation with performances at old haunts and new, as well as being a welcome featureof the festival circuit again too. The band has just finished recording its sixth album, Out of the Blue which is due for release in November.
