The Gerry Jablonski Band, hailing from Aberdeen, Scotland, is a powerhouse of contemporary blues-rock, renowned for their electrifying live performances and genre-blending sound. Fronted by the charismatic guitarist and vocalist Gerry Jablonski, the band has carved a niche in the European blues scene with their raw energy and musical prowess.
The ensemble features harmonica virtuoso Peter Narojczyk, whose dynamic stage presence adds a fiery edge to their performances. Bassist Grigor Leslie, affectionately known as „The Professor,” brings a jazz-infused versatility that enriches the band’s sonic depth. Drummer Lewis Fraser, notable for his rare combination of rhythmic precision and vocal talent, stepped in following the passing of original drummer Dave Innes in 2014. Completing the lineup is the soulful vocalist and guitarist Nicky Aiken, whose rich tones add a new dimension to the group’s sound.
Their discography boasts acclaimed albums like „LIVE at the Blue Note” (2018) and „105” (2022), the latter reflecting the band’s response to global events with a darker, more intense musical narrative. Tracks such as „Breaking The Stones” and „Strange Love” showcase their ability to blend traditional blues with contemporary themes.
The Gerry Jablonski Band has graced stages across the UK and Europe, including prestigious festivals like the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival and the Colne Rhythm & Blues Festival. Their relentless touring and captivating performances have earned them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim.
As they continue to push the boundaries of blues-rock, the Gerry Jablonski Band remains a testament to the enduring power of live music and the unifying spirit of the blues.
