The Untouchables - Saturday 9 August 2025 at Joe Joe Jims, Birmingham

The Untouchables
The Untouchables are champions of raw blues, basing their sound on the swinging soul of the great artists who recorded for Chess Records in the 50s and when The Untouchables take to the stage, you’ll be transported back to the days of rent parties and rumbas when the great blues masters kept them dancing ‘til the early hours. Expect an intimate show, drawing you into the place where blues, jazz and Latin rhythms meet.These players have lived and breathed the style until it’s so much a part of them that it oozes out of their pores, delivering tight, swinging, focussed, authentic sounding urban blues, with every element honed to its bare essentials in an unostentatious display of taste and restraint. If you like Little Walter, Bo Diddley or Willie Dixon, then this is as close as you’ll get to seeing them live!

Bill Schindler plays the drums and keeps a mean beat to keep everyone in time.

Bill Lisa plays the guitar and the harmonica. He is quick witted, always smiling, and an example of life affirming joy.

Mike Dietzen plays the bass guitar. Mike fills out the bottom of the band and does this crazy trick with his right foot.

Jeff Julian plays the saxophone and guitar. He is a fantastic Master of Ceremonies and entertainer.

Jimmy Emo plays the keyboards and is a multi-talented instrumentalist and vocalist. He brings a wealth of experience and creativity to the band’s sound.
