Expect high-energy, soulful blues and rock’n’roll from Kaz Hawkins and her band as they embark on their final UK tour as a full band – during Autumn 2017.

Kaz Hawkins is a​ Belfast born singer-songwriter. Her high energy original shows, her 1950’s style swing-dress-meets-Dr Martens look and her ability to closely connect with the audience make Kaz one of the most popular blues-related artists in the UK.
 
Underground for years as a secret songwriter, Kaz Hawkins is now established as one the biggest performers to come out of Northern Ireland. Known as “a vocal force” on stage, she envelops the fighting spirit of a true powerhouse singer. 

Kaz is much-loved for her deep, powerful voice, original songwriting and down to earth attitude; she brings fun to every performance and is loved not only by her fans, but anyone who meets her. She has lived and sung ‘The Blues’, yet has much more to offer across differing genres – soul, rockabilly, folk & more.

Kaz Hawkins and the Band won the right to represent the UK at both the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and the European Blues Challenge in Denmark earlier this year. The band went down a storm in Memphis and returned home as proud semi-finalists. In Denmark they WON the European title.

Kaz and her band have made history in the UK blues scene with their mix of rock and roots blended with Kaz’s soulful songwriting. 

The band ​are proud that they have made so many fans happy with their performances and they hope that this final full band tour will bring fans out in force to say goodbye.
