Our repertoire consists of groovy interpretations of pre-war blues and modern songs in a similar style. If you think this music is only sad songs of black cotton-field workers in the South from the 20s and 30s - you'll be surprised. On stage we show different types of pre-war blues: rough Delta blues, sophisticated and melodic Piedmont blues, hokum blues and vaudeville songs with witty and sassy lyrics, which are still pretty "risqué" after all these years. Acoustic guitar with strong country blues roots, vocals inspired by blues music, but also by jazz and gospel, as well as rhythmic patterns and jazzy solos performed by one of the best harp players in Poland result in an interesting and original sound.
