The Acoustic Blues Revue

Simon Prager, Doc Stenson & Wendy Lanchin

play the blues that kickstarted the most popular music of the 20th century as well as a mixture of ragtime, skiffle and jazz.

Simon Prager

Inspired by legendary blues and gospel guitarist, Rev. Gary Davis, Simon has been involved in the British blues scene since the ‘60s. With his playing partner of twelve years, Steve Rye (harmonica), he first came to prominence on an album recorded and released in 1968, Blues Like Showers of Rain. The successful triumvirate of Simon, Steve and pianist Bob Hall performed throughout the ‘70s as the ‘All Star Medicine Show’. When Steve’s health declined, he was replaced by Kevin ‘Doc’ Stenson.

Simon also played with the late JoAnn Kelly and accompanied Sonny Terry when half of that legendary duo, Brownie McGhee, became ill.

‘DOC’ Stenson

Kev ‘Doc’ Stenson (vocals, guitar, harmonica) has mastered a range of genres from country and city blues to, old jazz, bluegrass, Irish and Tex Mex rock. As well as performing many classic songs, these styles are blended into his own songs and instrumentals. His musical links with Simon Prager go back many years and has also collaborated with Pete Burke and many other artists, including blues greats Lowell Fulson, Tommy Tucker, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.

WENDY LANCHIN

Wendy’s background was in musical theatre and cabaret, before coming to jazz and folk music – which she studied with Hazel Askew of Lady Maisery. She has sung in jazz clubs and bars across London including Pizza Express, Hugo’s and The Vortex and hosted monthly residencies at the Elixir Bar & Jackdaw Jazz Club. As well as performing with Simon Prager and Doc Stenson, she also sings with classical chamber choir Tredici and is part of the traditional folk trio Rumpled Muslin. Her album Walking After Midnight made with trumpeter Paul Higgs reflects her eclectic musical influences.
