SEAN CHAMBERS

SEAN CHAMBERS

O Sean Chambers είναι ένας Αμερικάνος blues-rock κιθαρίστας από τη Florida,

τον οποίο προσωπικά θαυμάζω για το πάθος και τη ψυχή που έχει όταν παίζει μουσική.

Πρόσφατα άκουσα μία διασκευή που έκανε ένα κομμάτι του Johnny Winter (Mean town blues), και ένα του B.B King (Rock me baby) που πραγματικά σε… Continue

Top 10 Mistakes Artists Make by David Hooper

If you want to get a record deal, get people to your shows, or sell music like crazy, the answer isn’t some kind of “magic pill” website that you post your music on, blindly sending out a bunch of demos, or anything to do with having good music… although good music certainly helps. The answer is to develop a mindset that naturally attracts people to what you’re doing as well as an understanding of how the music business game is played.

As you develop as a person, your music career… Continue

Small change in Latest Activiy

To prevent automatic spreading of spam entries from our Latest Activity feed to Facebook and Twitter, I decided to temporarily disable comment announcements in the Latest Activity stream until we figure out a way of filtering potential unwanted entries in other ways.

Although we had not so many spam attacks so far in Blues.Gr, spam always follows large groups of people and we are going to have to deal with this anyway. The policy is simple: Spammers are instantly banned from Blues.Gr… Continue

Respect your elders

I am saddened by the way that we who have been playing and keeping the blue flame burning are being treated in or own area. Kids that we've encouraged and brought up on stage with us are now grown and forgetting how they got to be where they are today. While I'm glad to see that the blues will live on in them it saddens me that they are ok with forgetting about us. I was helped and encouraged by men like Otis Span who brought me up on stage with him. Hubert Sumlin who sat me down and showed me… Continue

Ελληνικά Blues CDs

Θέλω λίγο να μαζέψουμε τα CDs που κυκλοφορούν σε κάποια στιγμή και να τα οργανώσουμε κάπως ώστε να τα βρίσκει κανείς πιο εύκολα και να έχει μια εικόνα του τι δουλειές έχουν κάνει οι Ελληνικές μπάντες και που μπορεί να τις βρει.

Βρήκα πριν λίγο τυχαία το CD του Michael Dotson στο Amazon.com καθώς και το καινούργιο CD του Πάυλου Καραπιπέρη (επίσης στο Amazon). Και τα δύο αυτά CDs διακινούνται μέσα από το CDBaby το οποίο προφανώς έχει κάποιο deal με το Amazon και τα προωθεί και από… Continue

Blues.Gr Logo

Blues.Gr needs a nice logo and I'm already investigating options for making one.

I'm not setting forward a call for a logo with this post. I just want to let you all know, so anyone that might have a suggestion or idea can come forward with it. Maybe a member of blues.gr is a graphic artist, or knows someone that would be interested in getting involved in creating a logo for blues.gr.

Let me know so I can evaluate the available options, by either replying to this post or… Continue
