Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion
Dynamic Sophisticated Jazz-Blues!
Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion refresh the blues/jazz genre with eclectic arrangements, virtuosic playing and vocal prowess. Their vibrant, exciting live set is based around melodic and rootsy original songs with strong catchy riffs and exciting grooves; they mix old-school tradition with contemporary flair and sophistication.
Zoe’s dynamic and commanding vocal delivery, her majestic vocal sweep and interpretive ability are complimented by the unmistakable and inimitable touch and flow of Rob Koral-guitar; they are a“nationally regarded couple, it tells in the power and professionalism of their performance”. Completing the line-up are the highly accomplished and acclaimed rhythm section of Jonny Henderson-Hammond organ and Eddie John-drums.
There is diversity, depth, and uniqueness to the band's music, where each of the band members is given the freedom to express their musical prowess and stamp their magic to the songwriting of Zoë and Rob. A testament to their chemistry is the sheer volume of music written and recorded, with ‘Colourful House’ (Oct 2025) being their 7th studio album in 14 years; and a consistent and healthy gigging schedule.
