Britain's What's On Event Guide
Ryedale Blues Club 'Bison Hip'
“We’ve arrived at the party fashionably late…”
Bison Hip were formed by long-time friends during a lockdown Zoom call in 2020. “I don’t know who actually suggested it first,” said vocalist Paul. “But right away it just seemed like a great idea. Maybe it was the mid-life crisis at play!”
The band are all over 50, with the exception of keyboard player and spring chicken Steven, who clocks in at a youthful 40. By the time they finally got together in early 2021, the blueprint was clear.
“We wanted to take our love of blues and rock, and mix it up with our experiences of life,” said Paul. “Between us, we’ve been through so many things in life, ups and downs, some successes and plenty of failures, we wanted all that in the music. We needed to wrap it up in the DNA of our hometown, Glasgow, and hopefully that’s what we’ve achieved.”
The ethos is clear: real musicians, real instruments, no click tracks, culminating in a unique blues rock sound with real life stories. With the release of their debut EP ‘Dear Greens and Blues’ in March 2022, Bison Hip have hit the ground running. “There’s plenty more to come, we’re on our way up!”
Bison Hip are: Paul Sloway – vocals; Malcolm Button – drums; Steven Radziwonik – keys; John Gilmour Smith – guitar and Graeme Carswell – bass.
