Experience counts for Sons of Albion
11:44am Wednesday 9th July 2008
SONS of Albion formed in late 2006 and say their sound comes from their musical and life experiences.
Experience is something the band has in abundance, drummer Francisco De Sousa and guitarist Nuno Miguel both hail from Portugal where they had fruitful musical careers.
Frontman Logan Plant, the son of Led Zeppelin legend Robert Plant, has roots closer to Stourbridge and the band’s gigs prove he has inherited his father’s passion for putting on a show.
Sons of Albion are getting set to take their brand of no nonsense rock to gig-goers during a busy summer schedule including appearances at Scotland’s T In The Park and the V Festivals.
Catch Sons of Albion at Brimingham’s Bar Academy on Wednesday July 16.
