Kaspar And The Swamp Dogs – Show Reel / Live highlights

Kaspar ‘Berry’ Rapkin is a North London based blues artist.
His aim is to travel around the country (and hopefully beyond) to bring a raw, authentic, and entertaining blues experience to the public.
He was given a guitar at the age of 9 years old by a friend who had become paralysed on the promise that Kaspar would learn to play it.

The Swamp Dogs consists of Mia Casey on the drum kit and Sebi Rehjal on the electric bass. Together they tour venues of all shapes and sizes. From critically acclaimed festivals such as Deerstock and Meraki, to small pubs and bars such as Northern Guitars in Leeds, or Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans.
Recently, Kaspar has been able to breach some milestone blues venues such as Ain’t Nothin’ But The Blues Bar in Soho and Barry’s Blues Barn. Now is the time for Kaspar to take his blues to the next level.

Kaspar & The Swamp Dogs have released multiple pieces of music. This all started with a journey Kaspar took to New Orleans, Louisiana in 2018. He recorded his first blues funk single, “Sailing” at Rabadash Studio in the small bayou town of Covington, Louisiana.
By the age of 19, Kaspar had multiple trips to the USA to play in towns such as Nashville TN, Austin TX, Memphis TN, Clarksdale MS, New Orleans LA, just to name a few.
The band then recorded 2 singles, “Jojo” & “Jersey Farm Blues” at Abbey Road Studios, London.
Most recently, the band released their self titled debut album in August of 2021.

Since these recordings were created, the band have easily done over 100 gigs, and are often told they are unique, and are often praised for shining a light on the blues and bringing it to some fresh ears.
