Biography
Black Diamond Heavies hail from Nashville, Tennessee but currently live as “vagrants/citizens of the world.” The music is urgent,raw,and full of ass-shaking soul. The live show has been described as both “Pentecostal” and “Demon-Possessed”. Most of the material is original, although covers are sometimes thrown in as tribute to gods, generals, heroes, and vampires such as John Lee Hooker, T-Model Ford, Muddy Waters, Nina Simone, and Tom Waits.
The Heavies continuously gain momentum on their quest to unleash the punk-ass blues on the world. The Heavies tour internationally and constantly and have shared the stage with many notable acts including Son Volt, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, The Immortal Lee County Killers, Thee Shams, Jimbo Mathus, Kenny Brown, and Scott H. Biram.
