HARD TIMES (PL)

Hard Times is a three gentlemen band from Krakow who play a little bit of blues, a little bit of folk, a little bit about love in a sentimental way and a little bit of the charms of life in a funny way. They play beautiful songs without unnecessary exaltation, full of rough, male lyric, squeezing the throat or thrilling to dance.

They are invited to international festivals, because no one had mixed gospel with flamenco or blues with Krakow ballad. Despite the stylistic ambiguity Lukasz Wisniewski was named as the best harmonica player of 2011 by the ‘Twój Blues’magazine and Peter Grząślewicz was named the best guitar player. A year later the album “Trio” was named the Record of the Year in bluesonline.pl website’s questionnaire.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I say this as a recommendation – I liked it very much, I liked the music, because in general I like the blues, I liked the vocals, I liked the songs. I thought – I will invite those young people to the studio. “(Wojciech Mann,” I love what I like “, TVP 2)

“The strong point of this album is its eclectic nature, supported by a strong blues foundation. Just like at concerts gentlemen blend elements of blues music influenced with around the world’s music, from the country music, the African folk and hot rhythms of Spanish music. Despite the strong differentiation of the album the album is a solid unit that will appeal to fans of the good music in general.” (Piotr Łukasiewicz, JazzPRESS)

“Stylistic melange is a trademark of Hard Times, and I hope this will never change!” (Ewa Jodko, Twój Blues)
