Blues Revenge Live on Stage, with guests the Blues'n'Soul Shakers
Playing blues for more than 20 years in Greece and managing to stay “alive” is a hard work. Nevertheless, blues itself had to overcome barriers in order to survive through time. Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and the rest fathers of blues, inspired many musicians around the planet who dealt with this kind of music.
That is the case of Andreas Gomozias. He is possibly one of the most important Greek guitar players, as he combines blues with other musical styles as R’n’B, soul, rock and jazz. He has been playing guitar since 1980. He was a member of “Blues Family” and in 1993
he formed the blues band “Drifting Around”.
What makes him special is his incredible self-taught musical technique and his communicative power as well as his numerous live performances. He has been associated with many Greek musicians and has opened concerts of Peter Green, Snowy White, Mick Taylor, John Mayall, Nine Below Zero, Nazareth, Paul Lamp, and Eric Sardina.
In the summer of 2008 along with Tasos Dritsos on bass and Christos Andrianos on drums he formed Blues Revenge. Nowadays Blue Revenge is one of the most important and active blues band of Greek blues scene.
Although the band stays close to blues musical tradition, at the same time it also enriches this tradition with elements of other musical forms such as rock, soul and jazz, creating an interesting musical result.
Blues Revenge is a band that moves from electric Chicago blues to West Coast Jump blues and From British blues to New York Jazz blues. In live performances they usually play classic songs of artists like: Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Freddie King, BB King, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Cream and many more as well as original songs.
Πέντε μουσικοί συναντήθηκαν σε ένα κοινό σημείο, και δήλωσαν την ακαταμάχητη θέλησή τους να εκφραστούν μουσικά μέσα από την Blues και την Soul μουσική. Από την πρώτη κιόλας στιγμή τα πράγματα άρχισαν να δονούνται. Έτσι την άνοιξη του 2015 γεννήθηκαν οι Blues'n'Soul Shakers. Έχοντας γερές βάσεις στο Chicago Blues style, εξερευνούν την Soul και φλερτάρουν σοβαρά με την Funk Blues μουσική.
Οι Blues'n'Soul Shakers έχουν βάλει ένα στόχο, να αφήσουν ένα σοβαρό στίγμα στην ελληνική Blues μουσική σκηνή και δεσμεύονται για αυτό.
