BLACK DIAMOND HEAVIES WWW.BLACKDIAMONDHEAVIES.COM (615)642-6401 BFBG1972@comcast.net --Mark (615)579-6789 Vancampbell1@hotmail.com --Van (423)762-8780 John@blackdiamondheavies.com --John Kong The Black Diamond Heavies are a nationally touring band based out of East Nashville, Tennessee. The music sounds like three gorillas on crank. Most of the material is original music, although covers are sometimes thrown in as tribute to gods, generals, heroes, and vampires such as John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Lou Reed and Tom Waits. The Heavies are a streamlined tour-ready outfit, and cannot be stopped. Don't even try. The band consists of ; Mark Holder - Slide guitar , harmonica and vocal . Mark is from a wide spot in the middle of Tennessee State Highway 60 called Birchwood. Everybody there has five guns and a banjo. Mark is a successful solo artist having played numerous festival and club dates, released an album of solo acoustic blues, and shared stages with the likes of Kenny Wayne Sheperd, Derek Trucks, Gov't Mule and The North Mississippi Allstars. In 2002 , Mark Holder was named Best Blues Artist by the Chattanooga Independent Artists Association. The Black Diamond Heavies received the same honor in 2003 and 2004. John Wesley Myers - bass keys, fender rhodes, organ, knife and vocal . Left hand of rhythm, right hand of soul. The son of a Baptist preacher, John Wesley is from Port Arthur, Texas and has been shaking his, uh, "testimony" all over the south for 25 years, playing gospel as a child till the devil got hold of him. John Wesley also fools around with fellow blues-evangelists, the Immortal Lee County Killers. Van Campbell - Drums and vocal. Van is from Louisville, Kentucky and comes from a family of bourbon distillers. He holds a degree in Mandarin Chinese from a small girl's college in New York and has drummed professionally on three continents. Upon deportation from England, Van returned to the states after a three year stint with The Invisibles, and the art punk explosion of C33X.
