Little G Weevil

Little G Weevil

at Bradfordville Blues Club

Little G Weevil was born with a soul for adventure. He always had such a drive and passion to perform that after seeing him jamming on three different stages on a single night, a fellow musician dubbed him "Little G Weevil. "He said, "like a damn weevil, you just pop up everywhere!".

He formed his first band in 1998 and began touring mostly in European countries before moving to the South of the United States in 2004. He spent time in Birmingham, AL and Memphis, TN doing any jobs he could to get by as he absorded the music. He washed dishes, cleaned rooms, and did construction work as he tried to establish himself on the local scene. Finally he got his break with a steady gig on Beale Street in Memphis and his reputation started to grow.

Today Weevil is a highly esteemed member of the worldwide blues community. He won the Blues Foundation`s International Blues Challenge in 2013, and has been nominated for a Blues Music Award and a Blues Blast Music Award. He has released five well-received albums and toured across the globe.

His debut solo work "Southern Experience" was released in 2008. His second album "The Teaser" followed four years later and wowed critics worldwide. It was ranked one of the best blues albums of the year by Mojo magazine the elite England based publication, and topped the blues chart for an entire month in France.  

In 2013 his first full length acoustic record "Moving" was a Top 10 album on the global internet blues radio airplay chart for two months in a row, Mojo Magazine ranked it Top 3 "Best Blues Album of the Year" and it was nominated for Blues Blast Music Award "Acoustic Album of the Year". 

In 2016 "Three Chords Too Many" has received an Independent Blues Music Award nomination in the "Best Acoustic Blues Album of the Year". category. 

His latest album "Something Poppin`" was released in November, 2017 through Vizztone Label Group. This is a groundbreaking work that shatters preconceived notions of style and genre. This record has everything that blues music had influence on - Rock n Roll, Soul, Funk, R&B even Hip Hop and Rap elements mixed together with the essence of what they all come from: Blues.

"Weevil mixes blues with hip hop and rap and the result is fantastic!" - American Blues Scene

"His sound is definitely unique and certainly authentic. His songs are well crafted, forever notable with strong lyrics filled with cleverness and always delivered with considerable skill." - Cleve Baker, Confessing the Blues 

During his travels Weevil has shared the stage with legends such as the Neville Brothers, John Popper, Johnny Winter, Anson Funderburgh, Sam Myers, Lee Oskar, Denise Lasalle, Big Jack Johnson, Willie King and many more.  

Little G Weevil is based out of Atlanta, GA, USA and continues to perform as a solo artist as well as with his long time duo partner on drums Daniel Harper, and a world class electric band.
