Becouse of Blue

The idea for the band Because of Blue was born completely unexpectedly. It is said that once you fall for bluegrass, you usually never leave this genre. But somewhere in the subconscious of Pomněnka (Early Times) and Jirka (BlueRej) lurked the blue tones of the blues, the swinging rhythm of swing or the urgency of soul, and in terms of content, the desire to tell stories. When they found out that they had a few interesting songs at their disposal, they started arranging them for two guitars and Pomněnka's voice. Gradually, however, other original songs were created, and just two guitars were no longer enough. And then, at the right time, the experienced Olomouc bassist Vojek (HB Band, formerly also Plíharmonie, Jazz za Bukem and others) appeared. They realized that all three were tuned to the same note and agreed that their music should not only swing, but also that the lyrics should tell real stories from life. And because, of course, they are sometimes "blue", as is the case in life, they try to entertain the listeners with a funny, or at least surprisingly unexpected, denouement.
