Ministry Of Blues

BLUES, GOSPEL, SOUL, POP

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/24/2007
Band Members: Lorrene and Stuart
Influences: Etta James, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Glenn Kaiser, Darrell Mansfield, Son House, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker, Billie Holiday........pretty well any blues, r & b, gospel, soul great and many contemporary artists too.
Sounds Like: Drawing from many influences, Ministry Of Blues present a stripped down yet powerful blend of blues, gospel, soul and pop. With their shoes muddy in deep blues you may just get converted with a gospel feel so subtle you may feel like you should have worn your Sunday best to the gig. With a suitcase kickdrum, a handful of guitars and powerful soul drenched vocals, Lorrene and Stuart are indeed a 'Ministry Of Blues'.
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None
