About / Biography

From the vibrant South Coast of the UK to iconic venues across the nation, join Thomas Heppell as he crafts the next chapter in the blues narrative. With a style encapsulating the heart of Blues, the energy of Rock & Roll, and the sophistication of Jazz, Thomas can command a solo stage or drive the rhythm in his dynamic three-piece ensemble.

His musical journey has seen him share the limelight with stalwarts such as Catfish, Robin Bibi, Chicken Shack, and even household names like Anton du Beke of Strictly Come Dancing fame.

In 2022, Thomas's debut solo EP, 'Be My Home', not only received airwave love from Jazz FM (Blues and Boogie - David Freeman) and Blues Radio UK (Richard Dunning - Chairman of Blues UK Federation), but also secured him three nominations at the UK Blues Awards 2023. With nods for Best Young, Emerging, and Acoustic Blues Artist, it's evident Thomas is a force to be reckoned with in the British Blues panorama.

Thomas regularly performs at high-end bars, restaurants and hotels, providing a sophisticated set of jazz and blues favourites. This professional musician is able to adapt his performance to suit a variety of events, whether this be a chilled, background vibe or an energetic and upbeat set. His music is also suited to corporate events, private parties and festivals.

Thomas supplies his own 2 speaker Yamaha PA system and lighting included within the quote.

Performance options:

- Acoustic or electric solo guitar, vocals and stomp box percussion

- Acoustic duo (vocals and 2 acoustic guitars) or vocals, guitar and bass

- 3 piece full band (vocals, electric guitar, bass and drums)
