Everyone gets the blues, says Skip McDonald, who should know. The legendary guitarist gets them ΓΓé¼ΓÇ£ like, really gets them ΓΓé¼ΓÇ£ more than most. ΓΓé¼┼ôThe blues are a fact of life,ΓΓé¼┬¥ he adds in a Dayton, Ohio twang undiminished by two decades of UK living.
ΓΓé¼┼ôIt doesnΓΓé¼Γäót matter where you are. The blues have no boundaries.ΓΓé¼┬¥ An old school bluesman in the tradition of everyone from, say, Howling Wolf and Leadbelly to Blind Willie Johnson, McDonald channels the past into the future through his internationally regarded project, Little Axe.
A project that is more than just a band: ΓΓé¼┼ôWeΓΓé¼Γäóre a collective of different people who, at certain periods, come together to create great work.ΓΓé¼┬¥ Founded in the early 1990s, with five acclaimed albums to their credit, Little Axe are redefining the blues for the current generation.

Their melting pot is large, and bubbling. Here are addictive rhythms. Soulful vocals. Pinches of dub and funk, reggae and gospel. Oh-so-subtle samples and innovative electronics. And underpinning it all, McDonaldΓΓé¼Γäós shimmering blues guitar licks, conjuring a space where the dirt roads of the Deep South meet the shiny lanes of the Information Superhighway.
