DEEP IN THE TOP BLUES BAND (GR)

Concert during SBF 2017
Friday, 07.07.2017, 4.00 p. m.
stage at M. Konopnicka squer, free admission

The band was formed in 2010 in Thessaloniki, Greece. In 2012 they played for the first time in a concert with the popular Greek blues band, the Blues Wire. Then,in 2012 they collaborated with the local bluesman Elias Zaikos, who recorded two songs with the band at their first recording attempt. The following year the band worked on writing new songs and, at the same time, they performed as many times as they got the chance to. The band’s influences range from the wide field of Blues, to Jazz, Funk and Rock. In the sound of the guitar one can easily trace influences from Blues players such as Albert Collins and from more contemporary ones such as Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer and Elias Zaikos. The keyboard sound is a result of jazz and fusion touches, inspired by artists like Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff and Herbie Hancock.
