The Rising are a thrilling new 3-piece blues/rock band from Glasgow. Playing a mixture of energetic, dark heavy blues and rock & roll they combine the power of early Zeppelin, the raw, dirty attitude of The Rolling Stones and the free flowing virtuosity of Cream with more modern influences and ideas to create their own raw, distinctive sound.
They have been together since January 2003 and during that time have written and performed their own material, as well as covers, in venues throughout Scotland. The Rising are: Scott Manson on vocals, bass and harmonica,  James Guibal on guitar and Adam Dunwoodie on drums.
