About Me

The Bluesmates was founded in Drøbak, Norway, in the late 90s, three of the original members are still in the band.
The band greatest strenght is the variety in their repertorie. They play tunes by Fleetwood Mac, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Creedencs Clearwater Revival, The Clash, Finish Tasby, Dr Feelgood, Elmore James, Luther Allison and several others.
The Bluesmates have performed in conserts at Drøbak Blues Festival, Gardermoen Airport Hotell, Sonfestivalen, Mossekonserten, Halmfestivalen in Ski and Vindfangerbukta Blueskonsert in Drøbak (which for many years was the biggest local Blues happening). In addition they have also played at dance parties and other musical arrangements.
The band plays their own version of well known Blues tunes together with Rock Classics. The music grooves and keeps your feet moving!
