The Vintage Explosion burst onto the scene in Nov 2022 when a video of them performing Sam Cooke's 'A Change is Gonna Come' went viral on TikTok and Facebook.
Since then they have had four No.1 albums on the Worldwide iTunes Blues Album Chart as well as making the top ten on the US Billboard Blues Album Chart.
The band were specially invited to perform at the BBC Big Birthday Bash on TV as the house band and made their live debut on UK TV on This Morning.
Their explosive live show burst onto theatre stages in 2024 with a sell-out show at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. As well as collecting many new fans along the way, they are also making an impression on music legends.
