Hundred Seventy Split

British Blues-Rock Power Trio

Hundred Seventy Split is a blues-rock band formed by guitarist and vocalist Joe Gooch and bassist Leo Lyons. Both were former members of the classic rock band Ten Years After. The duo created Hundred Seventy Split as a project to explore and perform music outside of the creative confines they experienced within Ten Years After. They aimed to push their musical boundaries and experiment with their blues-rock style, which is evident in their energetic live performances and recordings. The band's name, Hundred Seventy Split, is derived from a highway intersection near Nashville, Tennessee, symbolizing a new direction for the musicians. They have toured extensively and have built up a dedicated fan base through their dynamic live shows and studio albums that showcase their commitment to the genre while infusing it with their unique artistic expression.
