Early in 2000, the Canadian blues expert Johnny V recorded an album in Riga together with the Latvian Blues Band, and that was followed by a major concert tour of Canada that stretched from Toronto all the way to Calgary. This is seen as the beginning of the band’s career.

The Latvian Blues Band has appeared in Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Croatia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, Greece, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Russia, Belarus, the United States, Canada, Egypt and many places more. It has taken part in major European blues festivals such as Euro Jazz in Athens, Sierre Blues in Switzerland, Narcao Blues in Sardinia, and countless other ones.

The Smooth Gentlemen are three veteran musicians from the Polish music scene. Their music is a blend of Blues and Soul. Sometimes smooth, sometimes explosive, but always energetic! The band consists of Bartek Szopinski, (acclaimed pianist, organist and songwriter), Milosz Szulkowski - drums, and Piotr Bienkiewicz - guitar. This combination of musicians are an exciting new band with lots of depth and experience.
Their latest album were recorded at one of the best European recording studios "RecPublica", and produced by John Clifton - well experienced California soul/blues producer and performer. Album "NEW" was released by american record label - Rip Cat Records on June 2019.

That was long time ago when they were young and crazy, now just young. When Ilgvars Rišķis from the Dzeltenie Pastnieki band, together with Maris Krasmanis, decided that the blues were not enough in Latvia.
To create something truly great, was to bring together the best of the best in music industry.
And so, Maris Krasmanis - a guitar player well known to anyone who has ever heard anything about Latvian jazz, rock, or blues - drum maestro Vilnis Strods (Willie) has joined the band recently, as far back as 2010, and the sound has changed for better, more interesting ... And of course maestro Gints Žilinskis .. comments are redundant! Guntis Krivms - This voice is known to anyone who has ever turned on TV in Latvia. His voice is associated with Doctor Haus, James Bond and many other film heroes. He started to play in the blues band FORTRESS from the beginning and proved to be a worthy member of the Fortress Blues Band.
But it should be noted that it was a job for Fortresians back then, but now it is a thrill, because much has changed since 1993. They performed on the big stage, both in pubs and at festivals. Now pubs has become less, the big stages more - blues lovers invites, listens and loves Fortress BB.

Khalif Wailin' Walter without a doubt belongs to the new generation of Chicago's young Blues Players who continue to carry on the deep tradition. This definitely ain't your daddy's blues though. Stinging and singing guitar work reminiscent of Blues greats Otis Rush, Albert King, Lonnie Brooks, & Albert Collins show Khalif’s music is firmly rooted in the Chicago/Texas electric blues guitar tradition. It is infused with modern funk and innovative arrangements to create his own unique sound. His tempermental vocals are in one moment suave and seductive and in the next moment passionately overpowering. This is a beautiful journey through funk, soul, and rock all wrapped in the Chicago Blues.

"No More" is the new single from The Swamp Shakers, which also has a text video.

"We've been wanting to record a song for once that is a proper blues, but we had to finish all the release and presentation jobs of debut album "Don't Wanna Miss", before we can put a new picture inside the band's musical journey back in time. Last spring put it all together and there was no any doubts that "No More" could be the real song for this period of time, when everything is so vague and everything is already in our own hands. The song lyrics can be applied to many everyday situations, but wanted to keep the mood of 50s in the style, when the car and the woman was a great comparison in their beautiful expression," says the band 's drummer, vocalist and songwriter Kārlis Paukšte.

The composition of the composition includes three great musicians of the group: Anna Andersone - double bass, Egils Leimanis - electric guitar and Kārlis Paukšte - vocals, drums. The song was recorded with the support of the State Cultural Capital Foundation.
