The ensemble intel
The group are something of a multi-genre gypsy cabaret group that combine ska, Afro blues, hip hop and rock. They’ve become a festival and club favorite with their high energy live gigs. The Crimson House band formed in 2010, and have released three albums with a collection of chart-hitting tracks.
This Crimson House blues band initially begun as a bluegrass duo and by 2012 morphed into a high octane blues quartet. The group toured as Crimson House Blues and released two albums under that name – Smoke Dust & Whisky (2012) featuring the cult hit Breaking down low and Red Shack Rock (2013), featuring Aphrodite and Pindrop Circle. They dropped the ‘blues’ bit in their name and subsequently released Come Alive (2015), which featured 16 songs with the addition of Nick Becker and Gareth Harvey as the newly added horn section that would completely enhance their sound.
After 2015 the group then featured as the backing band in a cabaret circus in which they adopted a new found love for gypsy music to the likes of Gorgol Bordello and Balkan Beat Box. This new-found love led the group to establish a new direction and thus begun the journey towards the upcoming release – where they are delving into their South African/ Namibian roots.
