The Dodge Brothers

About this event

After their last sell out show, The Dodge Brothers return to PizzaExpress Live Holborn to play a very special intimate show exclusively for PizzaExpress Live Holborn. Comprising Mike Hammond, Aly Hirji, (BBC film critic) Mark Kermode and Alex Hammond, The Dodge Brothers are a skiffle-and-blues band producing new songs written and performed in the old style, harking back to the days of jug-band blues and early rock'n'roll. Following their second album Louisa and the Devil ("Marvellous new record!' - Jools Holland) the band recorded at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, USA (as documented on BBC Radio 2), and in 2018 released their forth album Drive Train described as "Essential Listening" by Whispering Bob Harris on his BBC Radio 2 Country Show. The Dodge Brothers are a skiffle-and-blues band producing 'tunes of proven merit' - new songs written and performed in the old style, harking back to the days of jug-band blues and early rock'n'roll. The band are: Mike Hammond (guitars, lead vocals, banjo); Aly Hirji (guitars, mandolin, vocals); Mark Kermode (bass, harmonica, vocals), and Alex Hammond (washboard, snare drum, percussion). The Dodge Brothers' music has an authentically American tang - lead guitarist/vocalist Mike Hammond was raised in Alabama and his youthful musical travels took him all over the southern and western USA - but with a strong British perspective.
