Ian proves a hit in the US
11:18am Wednesday 6th February 2008
STOURBRIDGE blues and roots star Ian Parker has been making waves across pond after taking part in the 2nd International Blues Challenge in Memphis.
The 31-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire, who is already considered one of the UK's hottest young blues artists, seems to have earned himself a whole bunch of new supporters in the USA since taking to the stage with his equally talented bandmate - keyboard player Morg Morgan - in the mammoth event featuring blues artists from across the world.
While he was out in the States - Ian was also interviewed on News Channel 3's Live at 9 breakfast TV show.
Back in the UK this week and busy gigging across the country throughout the month, Ian and his band will be returning to their spiritual home' - the Robin 2 at Bilston on Friday February 29.
And the show is set to be recorded for Ian's latest live album.
