Blues Cargo at We7

I just discovered Blues Cargo are listed on We7. Any other Greek Bands out there? I will keep looking and let you know. Would be nice to find more and more Greek Blues Bands in music streaming services like We7 and Spotify. If these sound all too strange for you just ask me for basic guidance.

Here is Blues Cargo's Delayed Delivery on We7:

you can help

On Tuesday January 12th, 2010 an earthquake, a magnitude of 7.0 devastates Haiti. We immediately knew that we had to reach to help all those in need. It has been wonderful to see the outpouring of love and donations for the relief of Haitians through various ways. This helped with the immediate need of basics like food water and some medical needs. That said, we see a much bigger picture that needs to be addressed, the welfare of the children the homeless, the rehabilitation for those that lost… Continue

Terje Rypdal. Dead Man´s Tale (Norway 1968)

Dead Man's Tale" very laidback minor-key blues tune with vibrato-rich guitar and organ and vocals (Terje) - similar in tone to the Zombies' "Time of the Season" but more laidback - some really tasteful and enjoyable solos by Terje and Reim (the organist), plus some breathy flute soloing by Terje - I do like this tune q...uite a bit "Wes" - an obvious guitar-and-bigband tribute to Wes Montgomery, with the intervallic guitar lines and all by Jeff Gower,… Continue

George Stefanakis in search of a female singer and drummer (both amateurs but serious, please)!

Σύντροφοι μπλουζίστες,

δρομολογώ τη δημιουργία ερασιτεχνικού μουσικού συγκροτήματος. Το οποίο να έχει και την προοπτική δημιουργίας original υλικού. Να διευκρινίσω βέβαια ότι δεν υπόσχομαι τη δημιουργία μπλουζ μπάντας - εδώ και αρκετά χρόνια η προσέγγισή μου στο μπλουζ είναι κάπως αιρετική. Το προσεγγίζω είτε από τζαζ είτε από ροκ οπτική γωνία. Αλλά αυτά δεν μπορώ να τα περιγράψω εξαντλητικά σε λίγες γραμμές. Όποιος ενδιαφέρεται ή γνωρίζει κάποιον που ενδιαφέρεται παρακαλώ ας… Continue
