GZ: Do you have any anecdote about a show
or an important artist you played with on
any stage around the world?
I have been fortunate enough to meet a lot of
my hero's although having said that there are
so many great artists that passed away long
before I had a chance to see them. I remem-
ber spending the evening one time with T
Model Ford and watching as he worked his
way through a liter of Jack Daniels and tried to
persuade any lady who passed by to sit on his
knee. He was 83 years old at the time!
GZ: What’s your opinion of the actual Blues?
Is it faithful to the roots? Or do you think it’s
changing and it’s ok?
I think that the beauty of Blues music is that
everybody interprets it in there own unique
and personal way. There is no "right or wrong"
way to play this music. And of course there
are so many different forms among the genre,
from Country Blues all the way through to
Blues/Rock I love to hear it all!
GZ: Tell us about your las t disc “BIG (Live in
Europe)"
It was a fun project and something that I had
really wanted to do for a very long time! A
Walter Trout & Danny Bryant
lot of my all time favourite records feature Big
Bands. It was logistically quite challenging to
go from touring as a trio to a nine piece band!
But it was very rewarding. We initially booked
just three "BIG" shows in Europe (which were all
recorded to create the album) but since then I
am very pleased that The Big Band has become
a lineup that is quite in demand. We played a
fairly long tour at the end of last year and we are
playing lots of festivals with this lineup in 2018.
Our first show of this year will actually be with
the big band and is being filmed for broadcast
on German national TV.
GZ: What is the future of Danny Bryant?
What do you think is the future of Blues?
I will be releasing a brand new album called
"Revelation" worldwide on April 20th. This will
be followed by a 50 date UK and European tour
as well as those previously mentioned Big Band
shows. I think the Blues will always exist it is
"real" and people need that now more than ever
