Artist description Carl Wyatt has paid his dues many times around! Living the ups and downs of a busy touring schedule both in Europe and the USA for many years, made him learn his trade and a few lessons as well! Being influenced by artists such as Lightning Slim, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker... Carl's roots are certainly in the traditional blues. He developed his own style over the years and his love for Delta Blues made him study slide guitar which earned him a firm spot in the blues scene on both sides of the Atlantic. Carl has played and toured with artists such as "Archie Lee Hooker", "Big Bo McGee", "Little Whitt Wells", "T.W. Henderson", "Sharon Lewis", "Tino Gonzales"…., recorded with all of the above mentioned artists, lived and jammed with John Lee Hooker and has been profiled on many radio and TV stations. His powerful live performances are a blend of Chicago, Texas and Acoustic Blues which led him through countries such as England, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Ireland, France, Northern Ireland, Denmark and the USA. In 1997 Carl relocated to continental Europe where he found himself a tight and steady rhythm section ("The Delta Voodoo Kings") with "Jeff Deflorain" on bass and "Bernard 'Big Beat' Margraff" on drums. With his new band Carl has been tearing up the floorboards throughout Europe. American projects are on their way… "No rest for the wicked" _______________________________________________________ ____________________!!!!!FRENCH BIO!!!!!___________________ Carl Wyatt a vécu le vrai blues - sa vie ayant flotté sur les hauts et les bas de nombreuses tournées chargées à travers l'Europe et les Etats-Unis. Il a grandi dans un environnement de Jazz et de Blues, d'où il a obtenu ses principales influences d'artistes tels que Muddy Waters, Lightning Slim et John Lee Hooker. Carl Wyatt a développé son propre style au cours des années et à travers son jeu slide, qu'il applique à la guitare acoustique comme à la guitare électrique, on entend véritablement son amour pour le Delta-Blues. Cela lui a rapporté une place considérée dans la communauté internationale du blues.Ce guitariste extraordinaire a joué, a enrégistré et était en tournée avec des artistes comme Archie lee Hooker, Big Bo McGee, Little Whitt Wells, T.W. Henderson, Sharon Lewis, Tino Gonzales etc. Il a vécu avec John Lee Hooker et a joué en publique avec le père fondateur du blues. Il s'est profilé à la radio et à la télé des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. Ses performances énergiques en concert sont un mélange de blues Texas, - Chicago et acoustique qui fanatise toujours le public.Après de longues années en tournée Carl avait décidé de se dédier à sa jeune famille en Europe continental. Mais il n'a pas fallu longtemps pour qu'il crève d'envie de se lancer à nouveau sur la route avec un nouveau groupe "The Delta Voodoo Kings" avec Jeff Defloraine à la basse et Bernard "Big Beat"Markgraff à la batterie. Leur rythme serré fait fondre toute frilosité première du public et continue à chauffer les parquets du circuit européen du blues. Un super-show sans temps mort!
