About Me

There are four men behind this project that strives to give blues music a new dimension and new sounds. Still faithful with the roots we give our own vision of what so many simply call "the blues".

With a harp, guitar, bass and a hard shufflin' drummer we follow a path that so few have ever tried to go through... we got our own tunes and some more li'le surprises. The band is from the extreme north-east side of Italy, the "windy city" Trieste (not Chicago) it's our home and our inspiration.

That's not simply blues, that's west coast style that meets chicago that melts with jazz soaked into some other things. That's the real blues and simply what we are.

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
