Waters isa graduate of the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London. He has already recorded with legends like The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Ray Davies and the BB King All Stars . His list of collaborators reads like a who's who of rock &#8217;n' roll royalty, and he&#8217;s also a regular with Jools Holland&#8217;s R&amp;B Orchestra. Named one of the UK&#8217;s Top 5 &quot;Young Blues Artists of the Year&quot; by the UK Blues Federation for 2024, Tom is a force to be reckoned with on the sax. This tour comes as he prepares to release his debut album, featuring contributions from Jools Holland, the Cinelli Brothers, Ariel Posen and of course, Geoff Achison. On the other hand, Achison is an iconic figure in blues and roots music. Starting out under the tutelage of Australian blues legend Dutch Tilders , Geoff has carved out his own path, blending blues, soul, funk, and folk into a signature sound that has captivated audiences worldwide. With a career spanning decades and comparisons to greats like Eric Clapton, JJ Cale , and The Allman Brothers Band , he is on the verge of releasing his 14th album. Together, their Brush With The Blues tour promises an unforgettable showcase of blues, country, rock, and funky jazz, both performing original tracks from their extensive catalogues, alongside timeless roots classics, in a show dedicated to the late Jeff Beck, with whom Tom has shared the stage. The tour name is a nod to a Jeff Beck piece that Tom performed live at London&#8217;s Ronnie Scott&#8217;s Club. This collaboration is not just a concert, it&#8217;s a celebration of exceptional musicianship, generational artistry, and a shared love for the roots of rhythm and blues.
