Band: Zoë Schwarz Blue Commotion

– four piece Hammond-organ driven contemporary electric blues.“Seriously good music” – Cerys Matthres, BBC Radio 2, 2025

   ZSBC refresh the blues genre with eclectic arrangements, virtuosic playing and vocal prowess. Their vibrant, exciting live set is based around rootsy original songs, strong catchy riffs and exciting grooves; they mix old-school tradition with contemporary flare and sophistication.

   Zoe’s dynamic and commanding vocal delivery, her majestic vocal sweep and her interpretive ability, are complimented by the unmistakable and inimitable touch and flow of Rob Koral-guitar; and the highly accomplished rhythm section of Pete Whittaker-Hammond organ and Eddie John-drums who bring massive musical authority and the ability to push the music in unpredictable and exciting directions.

   There is diversity, depth, and uniqueness in the band's music, with each member given the freedom to express their musical prowess and add their own magic to Zoë and Rob’s songwriting. A testament to their chemistry is the sheer volume of music they’ve written, recorded, released, and toured — with their brand-new album Colourful House marking their seventh studio release since their formation in 2012.

Band: Zoe Schwarz & Rob Koral with house rhythm section.

‘They’ll be in that space where jazz meets blues, or is where blues meets jazz’.

Expect an evening ranging from Billie Holiday-esque bluesy ballads and swinging tunes, the moody-roots of Nina Simone, to the earthy RnB of Ray Charles and Willie Dixon; and of course, a healthy sprinkling of their own original tunes.

“Renowned singer Zoe Schwarz and guitarist Rob Koral create a certain edgy intimacy and bittersweet melancholy that is both very contemporary and quite traditional at the same time.  Schwarz and Koral make it all look easy; blues, swinging tunes, bossa-novas, Billie Holiday-esque ballads all delivered with an expert flair while still possessing the wild hair necessary for true authenticity." – C.M. Bailey, All About Jazz, USA
