Robert Jon & The Wreck have confirmed British blues rock slide guitarist Troy Redfern as their special guest on their September 2021 UK Tour. The 11-date tour will now kick off at The Globe in Cardiff on Thursday September 16th and will finish at the South Durham Steel Works Club in Hartlepool on Sunday September 26th.

Robert Jon & The Wreck will perform songs from the rich back catalogue including their critically acclaimed album ‘Last Light on the Highway’ which features the singles “Oh Miss Carolina’, ‘Tired of Drinking Alone’ and ‘Do You Remember?’

Troy Redfern will perform songs from his upcoming studio album ‘The Fire Cosmic’ which includes his new single ‘Waiting For Your Love’.

Robert Jon & The Wreck is comprised of Robert Jon Burrison (lead vocals, guitar), Andrew Espantman (drums, background vocals), Steve Maggiora (keyboards, background vocals), Henry James (lead guitar, background vocals), and Warren Murrel (bass).

With Robert Jon & The Wreck, the Southern rock resurgence is shining brighter than ever before. This blues and country-infused rock ’n’ roll quintet have consistently delivered soaring solos, boogieing grooves, and arguably perfect tunes since debuting with 2011’s ‘Fire Started’. RJTW’s latest LP, ‘Last Light on the Highway’, provides yet another heaping helping of stellar Southern blues rock.

RJTW have received accolades and rave reviews for years from nominations of “Best Rock” and “Best Blues” and winning the title of “Best Live Band” at the Orange County Music Awards in 2013, to numerous top 10 chart positions. Being praised as “Classic and fresh at the same time,” by Rock The Best Music, “Raising the bar for the Southern genre,” by Blues Rock Review, and “keeping the history of classic 60’s and 70’s rock alive for newer generations,” by Blues rock legend Joe Bonamassa.

The band have supported Joe Bonamassa, Buddy Guy, Eric Gales, Living Color, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Walter Trout, Rival Sons, Robert Randolph, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, The Cadillac Three, Black Stone Cherry, Devon Allman, Billy Sheehan, Sturgill Simpson, and many more.
