Kirris Riviere and the Delta du Bruit  began a new chapter with the release of their long-awaited album on November 10th 2023. 

Hailing from the earthy blues scene in Bristol, the band have evolved through the spit and sawdust school of the live blues stage in the South West. 

Re-grouping for their studio project, they are quickly gaining recognition for the unique tilt brought to their soulful sound and catchy song writing. 

Developing a reputation for electrifying performances in the UK and mainland Europe has followed. In 2025’s January Blues Festival in London, Ex-Acid Jazz band leader and the band’s newest fan, Mark Cotgrove, hailed Kirris “A huge star, but the world doesn’t know it yet”.

Shortly afterwards the band were longlisted among the top 20 emerging blues bands of ‘25 by the UK Blues Federation.

Only a week later and they were voted the best emerging blues act at the UK Blues Rhythm and Rock festival in the iconic Blackpool Winter gardens.

Later in the year they were chosen by panel to appear in a shortlist of 5 representative acts for the UK blues challenge in Milton Keynes.

Next in ‘26, they were shortlisted as best UK newcomer.

They’re now looking forward to summer of profile blues gigs in the UK and Ireland.

Led in the live arena by Kirris Riviere, (whose skill set includes the stagecraft of an accomplished theatre actor, the vocal delivery of a learned live singer and blues road man, and the songwriting of a published script writer), the band effortlessly blend their diverse musical influences into a unique and compelling sound.  

A soulful vocal style and dynamic stage presence have earned him a dedicated following, and he is the charismatic face and the rich, authentic voice of the band's success.  

Joining Kirris in the engine room is Evan Newman, a band leader, producer and songwriter on keys.  

Previously working with UK blues legends as part of Jon Amor of The Hoax's band, also touring with both Eddie Martin and Wille and The Bandits, Newman's compositions form the foundation of the band's sound, in a tight collaborative process with the rest of the rhythm section;  

Between them, their evocative lyrics and authentic arrangements create a highly danceable and diverse presence that supporters have said sets them well apart from the wider UK scene.
