- The Unfortunate Sons
Ask any of the 3 members of The Unfortunate Sons what brought them together and it’s a simple answer. The music. More specifically a love of the Blues. Vocalist Gavin Conder, guitarists Marcus Bonfanti and Simon Johnson came together in the Summer of 2010. Already regulars on the UK touring and recording circuit at a relatively young age, all three had begun to make a mark for themselves. With a debut EP ready for release and a string of live dates already under their belt, including their debut performance opening for the legendary Little Feat, The Unfortunate Sons are ready to explore the heritage of the blues while taking forward music that has, for many, been a guilty pleasure for far too long. Another British Blues Explosion on the way? You better believe it, and you know who will be leading the charge.
