What happens when the Missippippi flows into the Danube ?
A good blend of good old US muddy-water blues and roots-rock with a
splash of wine-infused, blue-eyed soul, that's what!
Kellie Rucker cooks up some tasty dishes, spiced with country and jazz flavours to the base of blues with her stirring harmonica playing and sweet southern-accented singing style...
Richie Arndt adds rich tone and sophisticated blues-infused guitar work, with a feel for the Delta and the Danube...
Marlon Klein , percussionist extraordinaire - from world music's celebrated band & ethno pioneers 'Dissidenten' fame, brings Southern African and Indian rhythms to the table..
The result is what can only be described as ' A
World Blues '.
Uplifting, melodic, soulful and rhythmic - passionate, yet real.
A musical kitchen, with new recipes for old musical styles that will leave you
wanting more !
Kellie Rucker - From Los Angeles, with history as a session player and singer on many recordings, her second CD, ' Church of Texas ' , proves her writing and all-around musicality... she continues to be an evolving force in American Roots Music - A tiny dynamo of voice and rich harp tone that does not disappoint !
Richie Arndt - Heroes? Rory Gallagher! Johnny Winter! Jimi, of course!....but this teenager was to develop his own style as a guitarist - a perfectionist, classically trained and university educated, Arndt has become one of Europe's finest guitar-men. His expertise reached a high point when he formed the power blues trio, 'Richie Arndt & The Bluenatics' , currently touring and continuing to release great recordings - look for him this year, promoting his latest work, a tribute to guitar legend, Rory Gallagher !
