Οι George and the Dukes είναι ενα δυναμικό ηλεκτρικό blues rock trio της σύγχρονης Αθηναικής σκηνής που βασίζεται στο συναίσθημα και τη δύναμη του αληθινού blues.

Η μπάντα ξεκίνησε τη διαδρομή της στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του '90, σημειώνοντας μεγάλη επιτυχία σε όλες τις εμφανίσεις της, καθώς γινόταν εύκολα αντιληπτές οι ατομικές ικανότητες των μελών, ο αυθεντικός ήχος, τα ταιριαστά vocals και η στιβαρή ανταπόκριση στην πρόκληση που μπαίνει όταν τρεις μόνο μουσικοί έχουν να πουν τόσα…

Φίλοι μου, τελευταία το Blues.Gr το νιώθω βαρύ και γερασμένο. Νομίζω ότι είναι η ώρα να κάνω κάτι γι αυτό διαφορετικά το βλέπω να πεθαίνει από πλήξη και αδιαφορία.

Κακά τα ψέματα, ένα site που δεν το πολυγουστάρω εγώ ο ίδιος που το 'στησα, δεν μπορεί να πάει μακρυά και μάλιστα "στον αυτόματο πιλότο".

Σκέφτομαι λοιπόν αυτή την περίοδο και αναζητώ διεξόδους. Οι διέξοδοι είναι:

α) το Blues.Gr γίνεται παρελθόν.

β) το Blues.Gr αλλάζει χέρια.

γ) το Blues.Gr…
