The band are based in Edinburgh though we all have cars / van and are prepared to travel further a field such as other areas of Scotland and North East England.
Hoodoo Storm are a very experienced 5 piece band of Musician's based in the Edinburgh Area. The band play smokin' hot electric Blues and Classic Rock with gusto and passion. Formed post lockdown in late 2022 - 2023 by Guitarist Julian Blake further to gigging in Edinburgh with his Acoustic Duo Double Trouble. It took many months to find the best and most suitable musicians for the band.
The band line-up consists of:
Colin Whybrow on Lead Vocals
(Hoodoo Storm spent many weeks looking for the right singer. They were looking for a strong singer to be able to soar over a strong band and as soon as Colin came into a band rehearsal, they knew they had found they're singer! Colin has been singing Kareoke for many years and was looking for a band to further his singing. He has a strong powerful voice and is versatile enough to sing softly or a growl or soar. His voice takes in influences from Blues , Soul and Rock.)
Julian Blake on Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals
(Julian has been playing guitar for over 30 years played in many bands across a range of genre's from Jazz to a Wedding Bands to most recently an Acoustic Duo called Double Trouble who played regularly around Edinburgh. He has returned to what does best which is Blues Rock putting together this band. He also accompanies and helps direct music for local Charity Choir Ama-zing Harmonies.)
Neil Stephen on Harmonica, Saxophone & Rhythm Guitar
(The oldest member of the band with the many decades of playing experience in Saxophone, Harmonica and Guitar. Niel started off his musical journey on Guitar in the late 70s. He is an important asset to the band and enhances any track with Saxophone, Harmonica or Rhythm Guitar complimenting his fellow band musicians. Neil has played in many genres from Swing, Jazz and Blues, Rock to a Rock-a-billy band. He currently also plays Saxophone in Lazy Horse.)
Tom Page on Bass
(Formerly a very knowledgeable and experienced guitarist for decades Tom took up Bass in Lockdown and has not looked back. His playing performance, dedication and musical knowledge impressed Julian in the auditions and he is a vital part of the Hoodoo Storm tight and lively band rhythm section. Tom also plays Jazz Bass in a community based project and studies Bass Guitar under Marco Sollazzo.)
John Slater on Drums
(John has a reputation for being a strong and solid drummer. He has excellent time keeping and dynamics and flamboyance when required. He has considerable live and recording experience playing various genres from Rock to 80s electronica. He has played with various bands in London, Glasgow and Edinburgh from 1980 onwards.)
