You're reading: Hugh Laurie to play blues in Kyiv

Hugh Laurie might have been one of Britain’s top actors for decades, but the Ukrainian audience discovered and fell in love with him only in recent years, after he played the main role in the popular American TV series House M.D.

Cynical and clever, Gregory House became a heartthrob for many women here. And now Laurie is about to capitalize on his fame in this part of the world, and present a different side of himself. He is coming to Kyiv with his debut blues album called “Let Them Talk.”

Released in 2011, the album is made up of classical blues songs recorded in New Orleans and Los Angeles.
Laurie is a vocalist and keyboard player of the Los Angeles charity rock band called “Band from TV,” whose members are stars of US television series. In addition to piano Laurie plays guitar, drums, harmonica and saxophone.
