The Blues Preachers will
take you to another place and time, probably somewhere between
1920 and 1940. Their music paints a landscape of pre-war struggle
and determination with sounds reminiscent of The Deep South.
The Blues Preachers perform a fusion of good old blues, rags,
gospel and hillbilly folk. The powerful simplicity of driving
finger style and slide guitar with the sounds of harmonicas
combined with old-school vocal harmonies create a traditional,
untarnished sound that will have you on the edge of your seats.
The Blues Preachers will make you want to get up and dance
with their joyful country and ragtime blues, and send a shiver
down your spine with their atmospheric feels - echoing and
paying homage to the sacred sounds of early artists such as
Blind Willie Johnson.

Stop Beulah Land showcases the talents of the Preachers -
