CARL WYATT & the DELTA VOODOO KINGS
Carl Wyatt has many years of playing the blues
to his credit. Having grown up in a blues/jazz
and gospel environment, it was natural for him
to pick up playing the blues one day.
Carls's live performances are a powerful blend
of Texas, Chicago and Delta Blues.
He 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 the Godfather of the Boogie
John Lee Hooker and has been profiled on radio and
TV stations on both sides of the Atlantic.
Although his main influences are artists such as
Lightning Slim, Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters
and John Lee Hooker, Carl developed his own style
over the years. His love for delta blues made him
study slide guitar, for which he his best known.
His many Concert and Festival performances led him
through countries such as England, Belgium, Holland,
Luxembourg, Germany, Ireland, France, Northern-Ireland,
Denmark, Spain and the USA.
After having spent years on the road and starting to feel
burned out, Carl decided to move to continental Europe
to live life at a slower pace. But it didn't take long
before Carl started getting itchy feet (fingers)!
He was soon seeking a new band and found himself
a tight and steady rhythm section "The Delta Voodoo Kings"
With his new band Carl has been continuing to tear up
the floorboards throughout the European blues circuit.
