Roger Hubbard , vocalist, guitarist & songwriter, started his career in the sixties, forming his own Brighton Blues Club on England's south coast in 1967. Roger's first love was Delta style blues and in 1970 he recorded his first solo album "Brighton Belle Blues" which made him well known on the then thriving British blues scene, as well as in the USA. In the mid-70s, having acquired his distinctive sounding 1935 National Duolian steel-bodied guitar, he went on to form 'Delta Wing' with amongst others Jon Cleary, now a well respected pianist performing in the USA with the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal.
In 1989 Roger got together with bass guitarist Colin Gibson and percussionist Liam Genockey and, taking their name from a Bob Dylan song, formed the group Buick 6. The band still plays occasional gigs, as and when all the members are free, given their other commitments.
They're based round Hastings in South East England and have "a delta blues sound ,like you never heard before".
A different Buick 6 formed in 2007 as Lucinda Williams' band, which released a self-titled album of their own in 2008 (featuring Lucinda on one track.) The members are Doug Pettibone , Chet Lyster, David Sutton and Butch Norton.
