Vulnerable Things

Highly influenced by blues artists but approaching things with a songwriting sensibility, Vulnerable Things have created a sound that is all their own. With influences ranging from Tom Waits and Black Keys to Dr John and Ray Charles, their eponymous album on Bluesinlondon Records is a set of intense tales and personal songs that sit together perfectly. Live shows have been the bands staple since forming in 2004. Besides infiltrating the saturated Indie scene in London with their own take on modern blues they have performed at Bristol Blues Festival and The Future of The Blues Festival.

Live shows have been the bands staple since forming in 2004. Besides infiltrating the saturated Indie scene in London with their own take on modern blues they have performed at Bristol Blues Festival and The Future of The Blues Festival. They have supported Wilko Johnson, Dr Feelgood and The Blockheads as well as gigging regularly at the ?Ain't Nothin But?' Blues Bar in London as well as The Dublin Castle & The Hope & Anchor.

The passionate raw vocals and guitar of singer/songwriter GP Bennett are complimented by the laid back feel of guitarist Lewis Hodgkinson, bassist Keith Lovell, and drummer Ed Green. They form a tight unit experienced beyond their years, taking on the blues from a different angle while injecting a level of soul and feeling rarely achieved by contemporary artists.

Having been nominated and short listed for the 2007 & 2008 UK INDY Awards, the band strongly believes they have an important role to play in turning younger audiences onto the blues.

Vulnerable Things are a band worth talking about.
