AWARD WINNING AMERICANA, BLUES & ROOTS

WINNERS OF THE UK BLUES CHALLENGE 2020
NOMINATED FOR MULTIPLE UK BLUES AWARDS

Over the past decade The Achievers have garnered an international
reputation for being one of the very finest, most accomplished and original
live bands performing Blues, Americana and Roots music in Europe. Their
shows, headlining clubs and festivals around the world, are life-affirming
demonstrations of the power of live music – creating intimate concert
atmospheres brimming with laughter, positivity and rich musicality.
Their infectious rhythms, joyful melodies and jaw-dropping vocal harmonies
have gained them much critical acclaim, multiple UK Blues Award
nominations and saw them win the highly prodigious UK Blues Challenge in
2019. They reached the semi-final of the International Blues Challenge in
Memphis, Tennessee in January 2020 and the finals of the European Blues
Challenge in Malmo, Sweden in 2022.
The Achievers stand proudly as British Blues & Roots outliers, never quite
fitting into one box or another – but always offering a truly unique, and highly
entertaining night of original roots music.

“Anything but a stereotypical blues band – I really now do understand why The
Achievers are so highly rated (4stars)”

One of the most inventive outfits around”
