Big in China performs a wide repertoire of originals, classic rock and blues songs by the likes of the Allman Brothers Band, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Freddie King, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. We perform much of the music which the Woodie Alan performed to great acclaim throughout China,

This week’s band is lead by Alan Paul. Alan is a former Guitar World and Wall Street Journal writer from the US who somehow became a notable Beijing-based blues musician. Alan wrote a memoir called Big in China about his crazy musical experiences here, and tells the story of how it all began – thanks to a broken guitar, a Chinese repairman who was also a secret musical wizard, and their shared love of Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Alan also has a huge connection to legendary Southern rock group the Allman Brothers Band. From writing about and interviewing them over a 25 year period, Alan became an insider in their world, and we talk a bit about his best-selling Allmans book One Way Out. The story of how it came to be, in part, because of Allmans drummer Butch Trucks’ discovery of and respect for Alan’s China book is pretty awesome.
