It's high energy polyrhythmic Blues soaking in Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, World Beat, R& B and Jazz influences yet never forgeting it's Blues core.

Lead Guitarist 'Cortez' Hightman has played with Luther Allison, Chuck Berry, and Danny Gatton bringing fiery fingerwork to his playing. Webster and Hightman combine their fifty-plus years Blues experience with a 'twenty-something' rhythm section of drummer 'General' Mills and Bassist 'Jakarta' John who both hail from Hollywood, Florida. It's a formidable combo!

Together they play an earthy Blues born of primal human emotion. Big Daddy & Red Hot Java's ministry of Blues has cast it's spell on audiences at the BBC Coalisland International Music Festival, The Sligo Ireland International Blues Festival, The Heineken Green Energy Festival, The Limavady International Blues Festival, and numerous domestic events. Equally at home playing small intimate clubs and large international stages, Big Daddy & Red Hot Java approches every show with the same intensity and heartfelt emotion.

This is not 'cry in your beer' Blues. It's the kind of Blues that'll kick you in the ass and snap your senses into hightened alert casting you across the dance floor in a wild voodoo rage. It'll reach deep and grab your soul for a 'rollercoaster ride' of emotion. It's a celebration of the human spirit channeled from Blues heritage and shot into the heavens. It's Big Daddy & Red Hot Java!
