Modern Guitars Mag Scott McKeon brings something fresh to the blues table... his music is a reminder that the blues doesn't come from a place on the map, but from a place in the heart

Guitar Techniques The album finds McKeon emerging as an overdue standard-bearer for a new generation of British blues-rock, fronting his power trio through barnstorming Texas shuffles but also contemporary song structures that evoke Arc Angels, Chris Duarte and Storyville
McKeon is a fresh new young talent who deserves success

FRY @ The Vic Review. 14/06/2008

Flicky Harrison

The Victoria, Victoria Road, Old Town, Swindon.

The guys are totally comfortable as a trio and easily produce a sound that would pass anywhere for a full band.

There are no dead spaces and the creative and inventive set flies by with some unusual and varied covers adapted to their own arrangements.

Pink Floyd's Money, Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile spectacularly showcases the talents of guitarist Mark Fry.

They are all skilled artisans with their individual instruments but where the band really shine, is their arrangements which are truly inspirational.

To mix it up a little the guys invited their good friend Charlie (a female vocalist) to sing on a couple of numbers including a corking rendition of Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine and Otis Redding's Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay.

Tony Fry gave a spellbinding drum solo and Ian Kerr on bass kept the rhythm section on the beat and also took turns on lead vocal duties with Mark.

The crowd loved them, howling for more when they closed.

Thoroughly enjoyable night of music professionally played.
