Dave Chen and the Muddy Basin Ramblers:
Whether amped-up or unplugged, Dave Chen and his mob of Muddy Basin Ramblers play a hybrid blend of classic blues, old time country and swing jazz and employ some rather unconventional instruments such as a jug, a kazoo, a washboard and even a bicycle horn.
Boogie Chillin'
For an unintentionally formed combo Boogie Chillin' has managed to become one of the most active of all Taiwan's blues bands. The combo draws inspiration from blues greats Muddy Waters and Elmore James and fills its sets with an eclectic mix of contemporary, standard and even experimental blues.
Gabriel Gratzer
When Gabriel Gratzer gave up gospel for blues he
inadvertently gave Argentina the blues and is now
regarded by many as being instrumental in creating the South American country blues scene. Gratzer performs a wild blend of Mississippi country and inner city blues.
Shun Kikuta
Since graduating from the Berklee College of Music Chicago-based Japanese blues guitarist Shun Kikuta has performed at many of the US' leading blues venues and collaborated with a myriad of popular blues artists.
Performing what has been described as "soulful, explosive, and heart-wrenching music" Kikuta should prove a worthy headliner for tomorrow's Blues Bash.
