Bill Saxby & The Dan

Bill Saxby & The Dan are a three-piece Americana band from Whitstable, Kent, known for their swampy blend of blues, folk, and roots rock, delivered with grit, groove, and a distinctly coastal swagger. Their sound draws from deep Southern influences—think Tony Joe White meets JJ Cale—with a stripped-back setup that lets the songs breathe and the stories hit home.

Led by Bill Saxby’s smoky vocals and guitar work, the band lean into slow-burning grooves and back-porch rhythms, mixing originals with reworked swamp classics. Whether playing the Old Neptune in Whitstable, the Pelton Arms in Greenwich, or the Shortlands Tavern in Bromley, they’ve built a loyal following through intimate, soul-soaked sets that feel both timeless and grounded.

Bill Saxby & The Dan don’t chase trends—they simmer, stomp, and slide through a sound that’s raw, real, and rooted in the muddy waters of Americana.
