THE SENIE HUNT PROJECT is a blues rock band that was a long time coming. Influenced from the classic blues rock power houses of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix, to the southern rock and soul of The Allman brothers. The band boogies, shakes, rattles, rolls, and cry’s out in a moody tale that pushes the limits of blues.
Fronted by guitarist and singer Senie Hunt, the band has a rotating back line rhythm section of drums and bass. They often feature guest performers on saxophone, keys, and guitar, sparking creative, soulful musical conversations with each performance.
With a mix of originals and classic covers, the bands style and genre bending bring a unique twist to blues and rock n’ roll. The Senie Hunt Project’s first single ‘Lovers on the Run’ is now available on all platforms.
Big Blue World, based in Boston, Ma, has a vibrant sound that moves seamlessly
across musical borders, embracing the spectrum of world beat textures mixed with
solid alternative songwriting...and a healthy dose of reggae, W. African and
psychedelic rock.
Big Blue World is: Conor O'Brien (vocals, electric & acoustic guitars), Chris
Chitouras (guitars, vocals), Keith Kirkpatrick (bass, vocals), Frank Laurino (drums,
percussion) and Rob Duquette (MalletKat, percussion, keys, vocals).
The Boston-based band just released their 4th studio album, “Open The Circle”,
available on band camp (https://bigblueworld.bandcamp.com/album/open-the-
circle), iTunes, Spotify, etc. More info at bigblueworld.net.
Chris Chitouras played with Babatunde Olatunji & the Drums of Passion for 12
years. He has performed at the New Orleans Jazz Fest and headlined concerts
with Bonnie Raitt & Jackson Brown, Joan Baez, and Loggins & Messina. Chris
has studied and performed with many world-renowned artists from Mali and
Nigeria, including Salif Keita, Toumani Diabate, Habib Koite, Zani Diabate, Oumou
Sangare, Djelimade Tournkara, and members of Ali Farke Toure and King Sunny
Ade's bands.
Keith Kirkpatrick started playing ukulele when he was five; over the years, the
instruments have been getting lower, louder, and much bigger. Keith has played
with various Boston-area bands as a bassist, bandleader, a vocalist, composer
and arranger. He is also currently playing with Bill Champitto and Max Klau, and
most recently, with Matimba y Rufemelo.
Frank Laurino is a drummer by accident. Easily impressed by music outside the
mainstream, Frank has played in numerous rock, jazz and experimental bands in
Atlanta and the NH Seacoast, including members of Robert Fripp’s League of
Crafty Guitarists. He is founder of poetry-jazz groups The Beat Night Band and
According To My Dream, and currently plays with industrial jazz ensemble Future
Memory.
Conor O’Brien has energetically fronted rock and roots groups throughout New
England for 30 years, and has logged over 2,000 hours in the recording studio. He
has released four CDs, as well as a fifth with Dave Gerard of Truffle (which
included the legendary Bill Payne of Little Feat). Conor has studied with Mark
Baxter, Sam Davis and Randy Armstrong. A prolific songwriter, he has performed
over 1,000 live shows in the US, Canada and the Caribbean. Find Conor at:
