The Urban Chiefs

Hibernation is over and the Chiefs are ready and raring to rock the Stag & Hunter stage once more. With a swag of new tunes and some old favourites, the fella's can't wait to put on their trademark high energy show! They will be joined by multi-instrumentalist and didgeridoo play Craig Atkins currently on his National tour. Let's kick Covid a new one!

The Urban Chiefs are Psyche-Blues, Stoner-Rockers from Tamworth; challenging the norm since 2009. The pairs huge sound is due to a unique blend of instruments combined with percussive grooves and hard-hitting, catchy riffs. There is so much happening on stage that often people are mistaken in thinking that the guys are using samples or pre-recorded material but everything you hear is being produced by the Chiefs as it happens!

“...a cracking slab of Psyche-Blues!”
