Live Reviews
I've done the blues nights for almost five years now and I thought last night was the best one there's been. I've had time to reflect now and none of the others even came close! Thanks for a magnificent night! - Nick Westgarth, Penrith Blues Club Nov 05
*****
I've seen some great artists in Penrith in the last few years but I've got to say Sherman tops the lot, The man is a truly magnificent guitarist - not that this is news to you. And he really put himself out for the fans. I can't praise him highly enough, for the value he gave to people. As for meandering through the crowd, giving a close up show to everyone, even the woman sitting outside at the table by the cloakroom...! And not a note missed at any point. Great band, too. Mark - Penrith Blues Club Nov 05

Not sure when you will pick up this message, but I just wanted to confirm how much we enjoyed the gig last night. I always like going to see good bands when I can as I always learn from it and get lots of ideas and inspiration from the way other people do things. What particularly struck me on the night was the quality of everyone in the band, the tightness of the performance, and the empathy with the audience. Sherman has a great voice and is a consummate guitarist and performer, but what stood out was his stage craft and the way he connects with people which was exceptional and something I can definitely learn from. Nice touch also with getting the young boy up on the stage and encouraging him. Terry - Cranleigh Arts Centre Nov 05

Just wanted to say that Friday nights don't get any better than that! Listening to the album as I write, Wow what a performer and the band is really tight. Thanks to Sherman and the band for a great night. JH Penrith Blues Nov 05
Just wanted to say that Blues Move did Sherman proud last night at the Boom Boom (20th Nov). We were completely in awe of Sherman and his mastery of the blues, I realise now how far the band and I have yet to go to reach a true understanding of the blues after seeing him perform. Well done mate, the Blues is safe in the hands of Sherman Robertson and BluesMove. MB - Boom Boom Club Nov 05

I have been an avid follower of Sherman Robertson for a long time now and last night at the Boom Boom witnessed a man at the top of his game. I was shocked at how good he was and wanted to thank you for bringing him over and giving us the chance to see such a renowned and major talent, one of the best gigs I have seen. RJ Boom Boom Club November 05

Sometimes in life the best things happen when you least expect it. And so it was that on a bitterly cold foggy night in November, and in the company of the incomparable bass player Roger Innis, Sherman Robertson was reborn as the vivacious blues rocker of old.
Well over a decade has past since Sherman announced his considerable talent to the world, and Europe in particular. Aside from cutting a brace of fine albums in the 90’s Sherman’s profile was further extended by his being featured in the Fender guitar anniversary film and book, projecting this passionate blues rocker to international fame.
Yet since those halcyon days things haven’t panned out as planned, and he all but disappeared from public view. Eighteen or so months ago Sherman was suddenly back, playing an exhaustive itinerary but still with no new album in tow. Last May he came back to Europe again again, and was close to hitting the heights of yore, but last night’s show proved that he has shed his personal demons, and the smile and effortless guitar style has returned.
Together with his European tour band Blues Move, Sherman weaved his magic spell over an eager audience who by the end of the night were on their feet baying for an encore. At the close of the show Sherman went walkabout past the dressing room into the car park, reappearing at the back of the room, sneaking up on his audience with a tap on the shoulder - a great finale to a brilliant show.
Along the way he gave us Texas soul shuffles, full of real feel, undulating funk, and a slice of blues. Sherman’s beautiful guitar tone rang like a bell as bass player Innes provided sumptuous bass lines and drummer Mike Hellier gave rock solid support. Keyboard player Jools Grudgings has in the past been elevated to a front line instrument in the band, but last night he contented himself with tasteful fills as it was all about Sherman’s delightful guitar flurries and his passionate vibrato, never better illustrated than on the funky “Out of Sight Out of Mind”, and the tough shuffle “Guitar Man”
An extended version of “Tin Pan Alley” revealed all Sherman’s poise, delicacy and true blues feel. There are many great players on the live circuit but few have the intuitive feel and sheer ability of this King of Texan soul blues. This was nothing short of the rebirth of one of the most talented blues men of our times.
