Jirí Maršícek began his musical career in 2010 and is now one of the most prominent blues performers in Czechia. Since then he has accompanied a number of internationally acclaimed artists, including Sharon Lewis (USA), Lorenzo Thompson (USA), Mud Morganfield (USA), Kyla Brox (UK) and South African artist Gerald Clark. Since 2013 he has fronted his own blues trio, drawing on blues, soul and funk — incredible blues and soul guitar, delivered with raw feel and range.

For this South African run, Jirí is joined by Jakub Hlobil on bass and hybrid guitar, and by South African drummer Tim Rankin — bringing together Czech and South African blues sensibilities in one trio.

Tim Rankin’s professional career spans more than two decades and over 2,000 gigs. A founding member of Cape Town funk outfit Bed on Bricks, he has recorded and performed with a wide range of South African artists — including Gerald Clark — and has scored music for local film and television, among them the feature Dis ek Anna.

Jakub Hlobil plays the hybrid guitar — an instrument that lets him play bass and guitar parts at the same time — and is Gerald Clark’s regular bandmate in the Czech Republic. Over his career he has accompanied many international touring artists on their Czech runs, and he also collaborates with several theatres in Prague
