RYAN "Junior" LAMB
Biography

Born on 7 th July 1986 in Blyth, Northumberland.

Having the legendary harmonica player Mr Paul Lamb as his father, you could say he was born with the Blues in his blood.

Like his Dad, he yearns to play the Blues – he needs to express the music he loves.

His main influence is Magic Sam. One of Chicago’s most adventurous Blues performers, Magic Sam along with contemporaries Otis Rush, Buddy Guy & Freddie King, was the originator of the West Side guitar style – the Chicago Blues sound of the late 50’s. It’s this sound and style that Ryan loves.

Bit by bit Ryan is piecing his own sound together and concentrating on working with the King Snakes.

He says: “It’s a fantastic opportunity for me, playing in a great band and obviously learning a lot from the guys.”

Ryan is under no illusions that he is entering an extremely tough arena, where only the best survive, as working bluesmen. However, he has the drive, commitment and most of all the talent to follow his dream.
