Roots Session III | Robbie Hill (UK/FI) • Roots Session 2024

The concert series continues in November on a very bluesy wave!

Within his native Scotland, Robbie Hill had acquired a reputation as a promising young blues artist with a deep level of understanding of the blues. For several years he had been playing up and down the UK, completing his music studies and soaking up the influences of as many of the blues greats he could see. One of these, Otis Grand, advised Hill that it was time to expand his horizons if he was serious about his music. "When the great Otis Grand tells you it’s time to expand your horizons, you listen." Grand's suggestion was to head for Finland. Hill heeded his mentor and set out for Scandinavia with little more than a backpack and a guitar. It didn’t take long for Hill to encounter some superb blues musicians, and has since made a breakthrough as one of the most skilled and talented interpreters of the blues of his generation.
