Hailing from the post-industrial Pennine valleys between Yorkshire and Lancashire, PEPPERJAM are a four piece band, expanding to seven or eight as the occasion demands.
PEPPERJAM play a very live & dancey blend of SOUL, SKA, FUNK & DUB based around the lyrics of visionary songwriter Lorry Dowling, who’s acclaimed ‘Loosen Up’ reached the top of the UK indie chart. The set which the band arrange, produce and perform is of entirely original material.
Signed to Distilled Records in 2009 (a label committed to grass roots song writing and performance) they released their first album ‘Taxi to Whitby’ in 2010 to strong critical acclaim, and released their second album in November 2011.
Much hyperbole is written about artists in the entertainment industry, but PEPPERJAM are the real deal, as testified by their past histories - BLACK, THE UKRAINIANS, JAMES, MICK HUCKNALL, LITTLE CHIEF and LAUREL AITKEN to name a few - and also by their growing army of fans... this is a band that gets people to their feet.
“...inside, Pepperjam were melting the gathered throng with a lava flow of rhythm, and the audience responded with their feet...”(James Brown NME)
