(LOS ANGELES, CA) - Lazer Lloyd, Israel's "King of Blues Rock," brings his fresh
sound, new songs, and deep roots to the Southland for some select solo shows and
trio performances with all-star backing.
Lazer Lloyd is an Israeli singer/songwriter and an
international recording artist influenced by blues, gospel, southern rock, and
the great guitar traditions of power and groove from Jimi Hendrix to Wes
Montgomery. His music takes the audience into his world from the tender moments
of a traveling musician in the song "By Your Side", to a man struggling with
life in "Talk". Lloyd opens hearts with his "world soul groove" sound on "Way
Down" and "Back Porch", and then rocks with intensity and joy on irresistible
tunes such as "Good Man Down", "Set My Soul Free", and "Rockin' in the Holy
Land".
Lloyd has crossed over into the Israeli mainstream
music scene and has been featured playing live on Israeli Channel 8 TV’s “Guitar
Heroes” hosted by Tal Friedman, Channel 10′s “London and Kirschenbaum”, Israeli
Channel 2's "Good Morning", 88FM with Gedi Livneh, as well as on Yoav Kutner’s
Army Radio program. Kutner commented, “From the moment the sounds of his guitar
reached the air it was completely clear that this is an international-level
guitarist. His shows are worth every minute. One of the great
musicians.”
Flying to the USA fresh from his second tour of
Russia, Lazer has opened for such artists as Johnny Winter, Prince, and Olie
Brown. Lazer Lloyd's singing and guitar playing has been honed to perfection by
his constant touring in Israel. Lazer and his all-star partners will perform an
unforgettable evening of music presenting some of Lazer Lloyd's greatest tunes
and previewing his upcoming self-titled 2015 album of new electric music. His
previous album of all original acoustic solo tunes, "Lost on the Highway", was
released in 2013 on Blues Leaf Records. Lazer's 2014 album, "Insides Out" is a
collection of his popular songs from past albums and classic live performances
at Jerusalem Woodstock and the renowned Israeli venue, Yellow
Submarine.
WHAT THE MEDIA
IS SAYING...ABOUT LAZER LLOYD
"Lazer Lloyd’s Lost on the Highway provides
a fresh take on the blues and it is definitely worth a listen. His guitar
playing alone is worth the price of admission, and when you add in his vocals
and strong songwriting skills, this disc is a winner."

guitarist in Israel.”
