About Me

‚Coming together as a duo after decades of playing in bands, Bliss 'n' Blue's CD Keep on Walking preserves a band's instinct to drive a room and rock the house. Using traditional instruments, (resonator guitars and basses, ukulele, mandolin, harp, and stompbox), provides a texture that supports profound lyrics, original and emotionally dead on. The songs tell of the complex feelings that come up in relationships, the crosscut saw that makes life and love such an enjoyable pain in the ass! The phrase Bliss'n‘Blue says it all. These guys have been around the block musically and emotionally. There are echoes of many different country's roots musical traditions in this collection.‘ - Curtis Blues, USA

Member Since: 16/04/2006
Band Website: http://www.blissnblue.com
Band Members: RALPH SKUBAN (Vocals, Guitars, Ukulele, Stomp) & WALTER ZAEH (Vocals, Bass, Harmonica, Stomp). Ralph Skuban & Walter Zäh share the same stages for 20 years now. Well, we know each other and his way of grooving. Both of us we have a passion for our resonator instruments. They sparkle and gleam but most of all: They sound gorgious! Sound is the music's soul and Bliss'n'Blue has lots of it.
Influences: „ ... das umfasst mitreißende Grooves, herrlichen Swing und bestens in Szene gesetzten Satzgesang. Dadurch entsteht ein harmonisch dichtes, natürlich klingendes und rhythmisch geprägtes Songwriting. Wer eine wahrhaft musikalische, authentische und spannende Variante des Country Blues hören will, der wird hier aufs Beste bedient.“ - Akustik Gitarre Magazin Nr. 05/2007
Sounds Like: „ ... handgemachte akustische Musik, die sich gängiger Kategorisierung elegant entzieht. Die beiden Fingerpicker verschmelzen rockigen Drive, Harmonien der irischen Folklore, die tragenden Bassläufe der Country Music und ein tiefes Gefühl für den Blues zu einem kompakten, eigenständigen Klangbild.“ (Frieder Faist, Buch- und Hörspiel-Autor)
Record Label: Self
