Notorious genre-alchemist Son Of Dave, AKA London living Canadian Benjamin Darvill, creates music that fuses cotton-pickin’ blues, vocalizing beat-box, hard-breathing folk, steamy funk and even modern R&B.

The conspicuous songs of Darvill stem from a real ache to conquer a guitar dominated world of music with his raucous harmonica playing. Fourth album SHAKE A BONE was recorded and mixed by legendary sound pioneer Steve Albini in Chicago, and is a classic piece of pop not made to any recognizable model, but with a strict agenda to be a piece of dusty blues you can gladly dance to in downstairs jazz bars or sunny Hyde Park gatherings.
