An internationally renowned musician is set to perform in Paisley this summer.

Tom Waters, a rising figure in the rhythm and blues, jazz, funk, blues, Latin, and roots music scenes, will bring his talents to The Bungalow on Monday, June 8.

A saxophonist and graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, Waters has collaborated with big names such as The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, and Ray Davies, among others.



Waters, who is the son of renowned UK pianist Ben Waters, recently released his debut songwriting album, Blowin’ Up, which features contributions from Jools Holland, Chanel Haynes, the Cinelli Brothers, and Ariel Posen.

He has already received high praise, with Jools Holland describing Waters as “the Tops”, and Sir Brian May commending him as “pure evil on that horn”.



Waters will be touring with Australian guitar legend Geoff Achison, who has been a significant figure in blues and roots music in Australia.

Achison's career, which began under the guidance of Dutch Tilders, has seen him blend blues, soul, funk, and folk into a unique sound that has won fans worldwide.

The tour, named Brush with the Blues and dedicated to the late Jeff Beck, follows a successful 14-show tour in Australia and promises an 'action-packed set stacked with hard-hitting originals alongside timeless roots classics'.

Geoff Achison has also drawn commendation, with Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna's Jorma Kaukonen calling him "one of the finest blues guitarists I know with a completely individual style”.
