"Be true to yourself. Don’t try to please the masses too much, especially in such a very personal music style like the Blues. If you get lucky and are suddenly making big money, make sure to save some for a rainy day. Success usually won’t last forever, neither will your health."

Q&A with Canadian-based troubadour Alfie Smith, a popular and crowd-pleasing fixture on the Ontario’s blues/folk/roots circuit

Posted on October 19, 2024 at 9:00am 0 Comments

"I miss Diversity. Most common style of the blues played now is more in line with Chicago but more closer to Rock N Roll. There are many voices in the blues and more than one progression. Ry Cooder, Elisabeth Cotton, Louie Armstrong, Howling Wolf, Tom waits and the Black Keys. They give me inspiration and hope."

Greek Blues Scene: Q&A with Andreas Gomozias and Tasos Dritsos of Blues Revenge, one of the most important blues bands of local scene

"I learned from the old black blues players their calmness when they play where they are relaxed, they make a peak and they kneel the guitar. dynamic and neuro... the way they sing too. They mean it, they believe what they play and they take you with them. This is what I say to musicians who ask me. Believe a little more what is played, love it a little more. Nothing happens without a believer."…

"The music was new then. I find that these days, it's mostly just imitators. Not everyone of course but I wish there was more originals on the Blues scene. Then again, when the Blues gets too original or different, people usually stop calling it Blues!"

"The essence of the Blues to me is the will to persevere in the face of affliction. It’s the expression of life experience that goes beyond words. Its birth came from a place of extreme hardship, yet there is still joy and hope to be found in the music."

Q&A with Argentina-born musician Federico Verteramo, shared the stage with prominent musicians of the international Blues circuit

Posted on October 18, 2024 at 8:30am 0 Comments

"I think music is one of the most equalizing things in this unfair world. I just hope that my music, and music in general, can make as many people as possible happy. And the best thing that can happen: inspire someone to do something, to say something. Give a message and have someone to receive and interpret it in his own way."

Federico Verteramo: The Blues Is Alright…

"Music as all kinds of arts is a magic way of connecting people. I strongly believe that art can build bridges and connect people. That is something we need more than ever in today’s times with all those conflicts, wars and right wing populists. So art is always a political message as well, the message of peace and solidarity."

Andy Lösche: ...We Tour The World!…

Q&A with Manx blues rock guitarist/songwriter Davy Knowles, music and song based on his life experience

Posted on October 11, 2024 at 10:30am 0 Comments

"If we want future generations to obsess over what you or I may class as ’blues music’ you need a more commercial and accessible ‘host’ to open that door. People like Jack White from the White Stripes. Or The Black Keys did it for a whole legion of folks. Took it to the mainstream. You see it with John Mayer too. But just to go out and play (wonderful!) Albert King covers or the like… it’s not going to achieve that same level - no matter how…
