months was great. Then we recorded a demo / cd to have for clubs. At first I was burning cd’ s myself to sell at our shows but it became quickly impossible to keep up the burning. So we had to order cd’ s from factory. This cd became the Best Debut Album of the year and the train kept rollin. 2013 came out with live album that won Album of the Year on 2 different blues stations. And we played all the big festivals over here.
In 2015“ Saved by the Blues” came out and was getting attention in UK, Australia and USA with international reviews.“ Find me a Woman” from the album made it to 18th place on Blues
Singles on Roots Music Report in USA.
In 2016 we recorded a double live which was Cd of the month in UK and 9th most played album on Blues Radio in UK and for 2017, 5th place on Australian airplay Blues charts!... winning Belgian Blues Challenge.. In 2017 we came 2nd on European Blues Challenge and in 2018 a new cd is coming out on 23rd March. We never expected all of this to happen when we just started out. Everything went really fast for us as a band and it’ s like living a dream but always aware that when everything goes well there always danger hanging around.
GZ: For our Southamerican readers, How is the culture of your country,
Belgium, mixed with the Afro-American and rural Blues?
In Belgium is not a real Big Blues Scene I discovered blues music when I was about 17 years old my first encounter was Johnny Winter through a friend and from that point on he pulled me into the blues music. I always liked the raspy voice and rock in his guitar playing. So I went out on an exploration of all aspects of the blues music and got to know lot’ s of great blues musicians.
GZ: The band sounds explosive and temperamental and about the lyrics … they are written as a result of good or bad experienced moments? What are your songs about?
Well thanks, not all the songs are written from experience otherwise I would have had a rough life � but sometimes you just get feelings inside of you that you need to write down. As singer I write most of the lyrics and I have the intention to write about dark feelings, but I’ m an optimistic person so maybe it’ s my inner demon that makes me write about pain and heartache. But blues is music that’ s needs to have pain and feeling in the songs. And you know everybody has lost someone that he or she loves so people can relate to this and also know how it feels when you’ re left alone.
