Short Bio:
Carl Wyatt has many years of playing the blues to his credit. Having grown up in a blues/jazz and gospel environment, it was natural for him to pick up playing the blues one day. Although his main influences are artists such as Lightning Slim, Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, Carl developed his own style over the years. His love for delta blues made him study slide guitar, for which he his best known.
Carls powerful live performances are a blend of Texas, Chicago and Acoustic Blues. He has played and toured with artists such as Archie Lee Hooker, Big Bo McGee, Little Whitt Wells, T.W. Henderson, Sharon Lewis, Tino Gonzales…., recorded with all of the above mentioned artists, lived and jammed with the Godfather of the Blues John Lee Hooker and has been profiled on radio and TV stations on both sides of the Atlantic. His many Concert and Festival performances led him through countries such as England, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Ireland, France, Northern-Ireland, Denmark and the USA.
After having spent years on the road and starting to feel burned out, Carl decided to move to continental Europe and dedicate himself to his young family. But it didnt take long before Carl started getting itchy feet fingers He was soon seeking a new band and found himself a tight and steady rhythm section The Delta Voodoo Kings with Jeff Deflorain on bass and Bernard Big Beat Margraff on drums. With his new band Carl has been continuing to tear up the floorboards throughout the European blues circuit. American projects are on their way… No rest for the wicked
