Bad Pennies Bad Pennies are a tight, no-nonsense blues rock band - inspired by the finest blues-rockers of the 70s & 80s - think Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray, Dr Feelgood… Originally from South East London, Gary Seager (guitar) put the band together when he moved to Medway. The band set out playing blues rock covers around the Kent pub scene and built up a good following. Over the years there have been a few changes in lineup and direction as the band explored different avenues before setting it’s course. Dave Two-Jackets joined in 2010 on drums then Gavin Matthews arrived on bass in 2015. Adam Stocker - a buddy of Gavin’s took over lead vocals at the beginning of 2016 and the band then had the right components to move up a gear. They’ve played hundreds of gigs over the years and have always been a favourite on the Kent music scene thanks to Gary’s outstanding guitar
work, Dave and Gavin’s locked-down rhythm section and Adam’s swaggering vocals. The current band has developed it’s own style of raw, unadulterated blues rock. In 2016 their EP “Turned Up Again” reached a respectable #22 in the IBBA UK Blues Chart. They returned to writing again later in 2017 then, at the Broadstairs Blues Bash in February 2018 released their debut album: “Songs from the Medway Delta”. The album contains 14 original songs and is getting rave reviews and lots of radio play. Very diverse, with acoustic tracks expertly mixed in with the more powerful blues rockers. Jim Riley at Ranscombe Studios really captured the live essence of the band. First and foremost, Bad Pennies is a live act and when it comes to performing their work on stage they can absolutely deliver. Check out a live show soon - you won’t be disappointed.
