About The Vintage Explosion

Don't take our word for it; here is what Sir Rod Stewart had to say: 'This guy....The Vintage Explosion, is the best white soul singer I've ever heard'.

The band have already achieved 4 No.1 Albums on iTunes Worldwide Blues Chart as well as reaching the top ten on the US Billboard Blues Charts. The band made their first television appearance in March when they were specially invited to perform at the BBC Big Birthday Bash as the house band and followed that with their national TV debut on ITV's This Morning.
