Artist / Band

Details

After their 5-year tenure as the resident band at Liverpool’s iconic Cavern Club, Xander & the Peace Pirates went on to support the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, the Temperance Movement, ex-Whitesnake’s Bernie Marsden and even Bon Jovi at Old Trafford Stadium to name but a few. This is most remarkable as, defying all expectations, lead singer and guitarist Keith Xander was born without a right arm below the elbow and plays his guitar using a prosthesis and hook with a pick attached at the end. Although many who have seen Keith play believe him to be an extraordinary guitarist, he is a virtuoso musician with a unique guitar technique and his playing rivals the best in the industry
.
This much was proven as 2016 saw the band release their debut album, titled ‘11:11’, on V2 Benelux Records, recorded at the world-famous Wisseloord studios in Hilversum, outside of Amsterdam. The album went on to receive critical acclaim from the likes of Classic Rock, Planet Rock Radio and from BBC Radio legend Bob Harris.

With haunting riffs, genius melodies and a uniquely infectious charisma, Xander And The Peace Pirates continue to share their musical passion to standing ovations, while spreading a universal message of peace, love and harmony. There is a whistle down the wind genius at play in the music that the band create especially with Keith Xander’s singular guitar styling that evokes the otherworldly musicianship of Hendrix and his ilk that must be heard and seen to be believed!
