Ben Hemming: Thorns

Ben Hemming

London based singer-songwriter Ben Hemming is steeped in hard-hitting blues. For his new single Thorns he comes close to the dark moods of Soundgarden in their Superunknown phase. His growling vocal delivery is a match for the dense wall of sound, with a softer middle-eight offering a window to have a short glimpse at greener pastures.

Blues as a genre was never a sunnyside up thing as such, but Hemming's bleak and dark approach really is something else entirely. Best avoided when intense emotions are not your cup of tea, but for those who persist it will be a transformative experience.

Live dates:
  • 09/07 West Hampstead Arts Club, London, UK
  • 10/03 Callander Jazz & Blues Festival, Stirling, UK
  • 03/08 Jazz & Cocktail Club u Staré Paní, Prague, Czech Republic
