The blues in Germany has its own name.
The blues band is B.B. And The Blues Shacks.
The most international German blues band was founded in 1989 by guitarist, singer and composer Andreas Arlt, who was joined a few months later by his brother, harmonica player and singer Michael "Maddy" Arlt, both of whom are the only ones who have remained in the band until today. Their story has been written based on their solidity as musicians and the commendable ability to survive for thirty-five years consolidating from a project built only to play electric and electrifying blues with a very defined and innovative personality. The band has toured regularly throughout Europe, including the Moscow Blues Festival, and has performed throughout the United States, Asia, Africa and Australia, captivating thousands of fans and reaffirming their proposal with several awards, among others, as the best European Blues Band. Their first album "Feelin' Fine Today" was released in 1994 and since then seventeen more albums have put them in their own right at the top of the general recognition of European blues. This latest album "Lonesome In The Moonlight" can be considered among the best of his entire career, it contains not only freshness and emotion but has also been raised in a moment of interpretive exuberance by musicians in a state of grace and completely dedicated to the magic of the most instinctive and intuitive blues that you can find today in Europe.
