Dexter Shaw & The Wolftones

Dexter is a veteran of the UK blues scene, playing old school blues rooted from the 40s/50s. Whether it be gritty Chicago blues, or uptown west coast style, his band nails it!

Dexter's vocals and guitar are engaging and authentic. He fronts a dynamite outfit, featuring Thomas Lucas on harp and keys, Francesca Shaw (his daughter) on double bass, and Loris Peverani on drums.

Born in the 1950's in London, Dexter started developing his love of blues and roots music from listening to his mother's rhythm & blues records. At 18, he got a job as a sound engineer for Doctor Feelgood.

He became a fixture in the buzzing London scene, playing double bass or guitar with some of the finest blues guys around - Big Joe Louis and His Blues Kings, King David Purdy, Jeremiah Marquez, Gordon Smith and Little George Sueref. He formed Dexter Shaw & the Wolf Tones in the late '90's
