Swedish export ANDY WALO loves America. Growing up in Sweden, WALO was given an education in rock n roll by way of his older siblings' hand-me-down record collection. It was an education that emphasized sixties rock by the likes of THE BEATLES and THE STONES and later on, an interest in LED ZEPPELIN. This was music that spoke to him in an era where techno pop ruled the airwaves and MTV. However, his search for "that sound" had not ended. It was just beginning. ANDY read numerous interviews of various rock icons and their influences all pointed to one general direction - the blues. In time, the music spoke to him and WALO picked up a guitar and hopscotched back and forth between Scandinavia and England, making a living as a professional musician. During one gig, the members of ALBERT COLLIN's backing band witnessed a performance by WALO and shortly afterwards spent the next three days convincing this kid to come back to Chicago with them.
Here is where the love affair with the United States began. Pretty soon, WALO was sitting in with the likes of BUDDY GUY and other luminaries of the legendary Chicago blues scene. His reputation grew and grew until his playing caught the attention of the late JUNIOR WELLS. ANDY became a member of WELL's touring band and played on his last two CDs. From there, WALO set up shop in Los Angeles, eschewing celebrity-dom and the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, in favor of establishing THE ANDY WALO GROUP and recording a no-nonsense blues recording in LIVE YOUR LIFE.

10. In the Name of Love - 8:03

An inventive rock-blues outfit that has made its mark over the last decade by performing at major international festivals. The band has developed a distinctive style by blending blues with Southern rock, funk, and modern jazz-influenced sounds. A genuinely American, dynamic, and engaging sound defines the live performances of this group, which has already released two albums: *Living on the Road* and *In the Name of Love*.
The rhythm section features the highly talented Alfonso Giunchino on electric bass and Sandro Esposito on drums. The band’s founder and frontman, Peppe 'O Blues Di Lucca—who handles electric guitar and vocals—holds a deep reverence for Jimi Hendrix and boasts an impressive list of collaborations with legends such as Otis Rush, Junior Wells, Sugar Blue, Michael Coleman, Shirley King (B.B. King’s daughter), Sammy Fender, Sharon Clarke (Tina Turner’s backing vocalist), Curtis Fuller, Danny Richmond, and George Adams. He studied with Jim Kelly, Al de Fino, and Kevin Eubanks, and has opened for acts including Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, Bobby Watson, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
*In the Name of Love* – This album demonstrates greater maturity in terms of sound exploration and experimental recording techniques, reflecting the close collaboration between Peppe and the skilled sound engineer Salvatore Salierno. The album consists entirely of original tracks, with the sole exception of a personal tribute to Jimi Hendrix.
Peppe’s signature sound is infused with psychedelic and Southern-rock elements, as well as a touch of hip-hop in a song dedicated to boxer Mike Tyson.

10. Boogie Woogie (I May Be Wrong) - 2:59
11. Baby, Baby, Baby - 3:34
12. Do It If You Wanna - 2:19

The duo line up on this album is as stripped-down as it is sonorous: vocals (Keith Dunn, lead vocals, and Klaas Wendling, backing vocals), harmonica (Keith Dunn), and double bass (Klaas Wendling)
The interpretation of the twelve songs is rooted in traditional blues, yet simultaneously imbued with the characteristic swinging style of both artists. Klaas Wendling blends downbeat and backbeat rhythms with the double bass alone, creating a rich groove. This provides the solid rhythmic foundation for Keith Dunn’s unique harmonica playing and vocals, both characterized by his distinctive sound. Since his award-winning solo album “Alone With The Blues” (Deetone Records, 1998), Keith Dunn has been considered a master of nuanced phrasing. On the album “Love To See You Dance,” he uses the harmonica simultaneously as a rhythmic and melodic instrument, creating a particularly captivating and well-rounded sound.
The twelve songs (five of which were written by Keith Dunn) on “Love To See You Dance” oscillate between traditional Chicago blues shuffle (“Deep In My Heart For You”), swing (“Boogie Woogie – I May Be Wrong”), and rock ‘n’ roll energy (“Rock This House”). Contemporary social moods are also palpable in the interpretation of songs like “Strange Land” and “Trouble Is Going On,” which speak of uprooting, alienation, and loneliness.

Deke has performed all over the World as a Sideman and Band Leader. This has seen him recording, supporting and sharing the stage with names such as Buddy Guy, Joe Walsh, Hamish Stuart, Sugar Blue, Zoot Money, Otis Grand, George Melly, The Fratellis, Band Of Friends, Martin Stephenson, The Alex Harvey Band, Dan Reed Jackson Sloan Big George and the Business, The Nimmo Brothers and many more.11-tracker from Glasgow-based sax maestro McGee, who has been a leading light on the scene there for over thirty years as well as touring all over the place backing up numerous blues and jazz artists. This album consists of Deke’s own compositions, written in the spirit of classic r&b of the late 1940s, plus a couple of jazz-based instrumentals and slow blues. Deke’s tough blowing and pleasing vocals is accompanied by a fine little combo of guitar, keyboards, bass and drums. All fellow Glaswegians I presume. ‘Mr Cornbread’ is a fine tribute to the honking of Hal Singer, utilising the basic tenor riff before the band jumps in with a rollicking and infectious beat. ‘Blowout’ is another honking instrumental reminiscent of Big Jay at his best whilst ‘Jumpin’ Jesus Holy Cow’, ‘Jumpin’ Out The Window’ and ‘Shut Your Mouth’ are further examples of classic r&b/ jump blues. The best track for me is ‘The Sweetheart Blues’, a great New Orleans-flavoured number, which would have served Fats Domino proud. If you’re a fan of classic r&b as put out by the likes of Louis Jordan, Roy Milton and Joe Liggins etc, then Deke’s your man ~ Tony Watson/

The second album in the solo career of the founder of Dr. Sin arrives this Friday, the 31st with a debut show at the Blue Note this Saturday, August 1st. Ivan Busic releases his second album Into the Blues this Friday, the 31st, delving into the roots of the blues that shaped his artistic identity since childhood. The project, successor to Rock and Road (2013), was born from a call, an inspiration felt on Christmas Eve.
That silent night, his wife Nathalia showed him a Fleetwood Mac album that he hadn't yet heard, from the brilliant Peter Green era. Influenced by other masters such as B.B. King, Freddie King, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Ma Rainey, he felt a creative impulse that was impossible to ignore. Installed in the living room and surrounded only by instruments, Busic let the music happen. More than ten songs emerged in just one week. In the same period, drums, guitars and most of the arrangements were already recorded. A process as fast as it is spontaneous. To bring this sonic journey to life, Ivan also brought together musicians who are part of his history and personal admiration. On double bass is his beloved brother, Andria Busic, and on keyboards the surreal João Nogueira. Into the Blues is an album that moves between memory and instinct. “My father, André Busic, has always been my musical hero, spreading his art around the world with the Traditional Jazz Band, the Blue Gang and many other projects, never looking for the spotlight, but always faithful to music”, added Ivan.
The record is the frontman's heart and soul printed in every note. A visceral record, full of feeling, respect for roots and passion for music. A work made to warm the soul of those who created it and of all those who allow themselves to embark on this journey. In an interview with Wikimetal, Ivan spoke about what he expects from rock and metal fans' reaction to his new work: "I hope people feel the same way I feel when I listen to the album. May it bring you moments of reflection, of inspiration to give you strength in your days." To celebrate the launch of the project, Ivan Busic will perform a show at Blue Note in São Paulo.

 8. I'm Still Here (For Now) - 3:22
 9. Home (Acoustic) - 4:01

Full Spread is released on 1 August 2026 across all major streaming platforms. Erin McCallum has produced an album that isn’t interested in chasing trends or fitting neatly into a single genre. Instead, she draws from blues, Americana, folk, country and soul to create something warm, honest and thoroughly enjoyable. If you’re looking for polished songwriting, authentic musicianship and an album that rewards sitting back and listening, “Full Spread” is well worth your time.
“I Need a New Lover” opens proceedings with a wonderfully old-school blues groove. It’s the soundtrack to a deserted main street somewhere in the Wild West, dust blowing between the buildings while a lone harmonica player leans against the jailhouse wall. It caught me completely off guard. Catchy, confident and full of playful “take me, make me” lyrical energy, it’s a strong opening statement.
“Good Good News” follows with two-and-a-half minutes of uplifting, feel-good blues. This is the sort of song that quietly sneaks into your head after a couple of listens. Whether you’re winding down after a long day or enjoying a quiet evening in the garden, it fits the mood perfectly. It celebrates life’s brighter moments and, as A.A. Milne wisely observed, today is a present. It’s also wonderfully radio-friendly and deserves plenty of airplay.
“Lost Myself Loving You” showcases one of Erin’s strongest vocal performances on the album. There’s genuine emotion here as she explores the blindness that can accompany love, while the blues influence remains firmly rooted in both the lyrics and delivery. I particularly enjoyed the subtle harmony work in the chorus, while the instrumental break gives the song room to breathe before returning to its reflective mood.
“The Big Shout” takes me straight back to the American West. It has a wonderfully cinematic quality, the kind of song you could imagine drifting across a saloon while the regulars nurse their whiskey and the barmaid moves between the tables with a knowing wink and a smile. I particularly enjoyed the rhythm section here, with understated drums providing a slow, moody foundation. Our resident in-house drummer Ferdinand was especially taken with this one.
“You Have It All” gently lightens the mood with an easy-going rhythm that conjures images of the final slow dance after everyone else has gone home and the band is packing away for the night. It doesn’t demand attention, but it settles comfortably into the album and provides a pleasant change of pace.
“Good Intentions” is another highlight for me. There’s a little more bite in the lyrics and a touch more rock in the groove, giving the song extra momentum. It has all the ingredients of a real live favourite, one that audiences could easily clap and sing along with.
“Broken Lies” is the standout track on Full Spread. It opens with real atmosphere before settling into a weighty, deliberate rhythm that perfectly complements the song’s emotional intensity. The backing harmonies create an almost haunting quality, while Erin delivers one of her finest performances on the record. It’s blues wrapped in mystery, almost like wandering through Harlem on a rainy night with a pack of tarot cards tucked beneath your arm. At just over three minutes long, it’s three minutes of pure musical indulgence and the track I’d be adding to my own playlist.
“I’m Still Here (For Now)” introduces a welcome splash of funk into the mix. It’s blues with a seventies swagger, the sort of song that belongs on an open road with the windows down and a classic American car stretching out into the horizon.
Finally, “Home” is an acoustic closer for the album. This one is blues for the campfire, intimate, as the evening breeze moves gently through the trees. We have mountains, sunset and the morning meeting the night. Close your eyes and drift along to this one, flotsam to the bay.

Musicians:
Bob Keelaghan - guitars and vocals;
Judd Palmer - banjo, low slide guitar, harmonica, and vocals;
Vladimir Sobolewski - upright bass;
Peter Balkwill - drums.

They loved the blues, but hated its popular, generic practitioners. It was the motivating factor for the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir. That, and Judd Palmer’s and drummer Pete Balkwill’s acceptance of an opening slot for Canadian bluesman Lester Quitzau despite not having a band. You see, Palmer played slide guitar in Calgary country-folk band Great Uncle Bull. They would have made a good opener, but they broke up. He talked bassist and fellow Bullsman Vladimir Sobolewski into doing the gig. Sobolewski, in turn, called hotshot guitarist Bob Keelaghan from punk-blues-unsane-abilly combo The Puritans, knowing he shared Palmer’s love for early blues and country. Keelaghan wasn’t busy because The Puritans just broke up, too. Sobolewski knew this because he also played in The Puritans. In one week with three rehearsals, they put together a set and played the gig in January of 2001. Then people kept asking them to play.
The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir’s raucous, firebrand interpretations of pre-WW II acoustic blues and country struck a chord with Calgarian audiences. The roots crowd liked them for their reverence for the musical sources minus the obvious cliches of many modern interpreters. But rock audiences ate up their sets, too. The Agnostics managed to translate and amplify the energy of early Skip James and Son House, transcending the lo-fidelity of a scratchy 78, and reminding young listeners why this music mutated into rock’n’roll.
Balkwill left the band in the first year of its existence and was replaced by Jason Woolley. In 2003 that line-up recorded the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir debut, St. Hubert, in a friend’s house in Canmore. It was cut, mostly, live off the floor. The ingredients were fierce and striking: Palmer’s gutteral vocals, vicious, downtuned, slide guitar, and ragged-but-right banjo; Keelaghan’s equally gravelly vocals, frenetic finger-picking, and cutting lead guitar; Sobolewski’s pounding upright bass; and Woolley’s clanging drum and scrap metal kit. The band was taken by surprise when the disc started getting airplay across Canada on campus radio stations and the first pressing sold out. Gig offers started coming in from festivals across Canada. The Agnostics were no longer Calgary’s secret.

Music has guided me since I was a young boy.I remember working as a manual laborer and harvesting potatoes for two months at the age of 13 so I could afford my first electric guitar and finally start learning to play. Back then, albums by American bluesmen were extremely rare, and I had to hunt them down all over Italy. That passion gave rise to what would become my stage name: Peppe o Blues. At 16, while working manual jobs, I began taking lessons in jazz guitar and improvisation. Then, in 1984, I was invited to attend the Umbria Jazz seminars and played with Curtis Fuller; the following year, I was selected to play in the festival's Big Band, opening for Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers and Stevie Ray Vaughan. I trained at the Berklee College of Music in Boston (USA), having won a scholarship there in 1985. I studied with prominent musicians such as Kevin Eubanks, Jim Kelly, Al Defino, Larry Monroe, and Orville Wright, mastering music theory and technique. It was during this time that I came to understand that music is an expression of the mind and soul.In 1987, I moved to New York, where I continued my studies with Kevin Eubanks. I lived in the Bronx and played in jazz clubs where white musicians were rarely accepted. It was a very tough year, but one that helped me grow both as a man and as a musician. Over the course of my nearly 35-year career, I have had the honor and pleasure of performing with genuine stars such as Buddy Miles (Jimi Hendrix’s drummer and vocalist for Carlos Santana), Otis Rush (Eric Clapton), Michael Coleman (Muddy Waters’ guitarist), Junior Wells, Curtis Fuller, George Adams, Dannie Richmond, Sugar Blue (harmonica player on the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You”), Shirley King (B.B. King’s daughter), Sammy Fender, Sharon Clarke (backing vocalist for Albert King and Tina Turner), Dave Ball (Procol Harum), Mick Underwood (Ian Gillan, Deep Purple), and Mac Pole (Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Gong); I have also opened for acts such as Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Miriam Makeba, Bobby Watson, Canned Heat, Charlie Musselwhite, Tommy Castro, Chris Wilson (lead singer of the Flamin’ Groovies), and, more recently, Fabrizio Moro.

Morry Sochat (pronounced Socket) moved to Chicago from Texas in 1990. He started playing harmonica in 2000, taking lessons from renowned teacher, Joe Filisko at the Old Town School of Folk Music. He played with The Shakes and Tongue & Groove before starting The Special 20s in 2005. Their first, self-titled release, recorded in 2006, was received with great reviews, taking the 20s from playing one or two nights a month to constant bookings all over the city. Morry has been playing around the city learning from the greats in Chicago, playing with Dave Specter, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith, Billy Flynn and Barrelhouse Chuck. 
In 2007, Sochat took the next step and went out on his own. He hired some of the best musicians in Chicago to round out The Special 20s. In 2008, they returned to the studio to record a new CD. The recording Swingin’ Shufflin’ Smokin’ was produced by Nick Moss and featured Ted Beranis, Kenny Smith, Dave Ross, Nick Krebs, Shoji Naito, and Jim St. Marie. The CD was also met with rave reviews. This opened up doors for the band across the US. In 2010 Morry took the band back to the studio to release Eatin’ Dirt. The CD was produced by Jimmy Sutton, and features 10 original songs. The band has grown in both skill level and size, adding a horn section on a lot of the songs. Eating’ Dirt was a sound expansion for the band.  It was the first CD that brought in the horn section.  The recording featured the line up of  Marty Binder, Doug Corcoran, Shoji Naito, Chris Neal, Jim St. Marie and Ted Beranis. It has special guests Billy Flynn, Dave Hererro, and Brother John on the CD.  The sound is vintage with a modern feel.
2025 brings new music releases with Chris Neal leading the band on Hotter Than Fire and Midnight Kisses.  A live album will be releases in 2025 as well. The band is cooking on all cylinders so get out and see them live.
