Hokie Joint are a five piece band from Colchester, England. On one hand we’re talking part Waits, part Wolf vocals, fuzzing slide guitar, dirty harmonica, driving bass and train-like drumming. On the other hand it’s gut-wrenchingly emotional vocals, melancholic guitar playing, sweeping harmonica, well constructed, melodic bass and intricate, mesmerising drumming.

As the main soloist with the Jools Holland R & B Orchestra Derek has appeared on countless TV shows and recordings. Also his award-winning performances with both his all-saxophone group Sax Appeal and his group Protect The Beat have demonstrated his ability to excel in jazz, funk and pop styles.
