The spring part of the festival in the Stará Pekárna club will begin this evening with the concert of English singer Elles Bailey, accompanied by the Czech band The Bladderstones. The festival promises 27 jazz and blues concerts with an international representation. We will get to see for example the Mike Ross Blues Band, Marek Kotača Trio, Tom Smith Quartet and the Vilém Spilka Quartet.
This year is dedicated to the British blues scene. Right at the introduction, we will see Elles Bailey, followed by Mike Ross, Matt Long, Lorna Fothergill & Northsyde, Jack Hutchinson, Lewis Creaven and Will Johns. Concerts always start at 8 p.m.
The singer Elles Bailey, who will introduce the spring part of the festival, comes from Bristol. On the musical scene, she represents a fusion of blues, rock and Americana with country elements. Her debut album was Wildfire, recorded at the Blackbird studios in Tennessee. The album was produced by Brad Nowell, who invited recognised musicians from Nashville for the recording, including the guitarist Brent Mason and Bobby Wood. On her promotional tour, she was accompanied by the mouth organ player Johnny Henderson and guitarist Joe Wilkins, creating a harmonious fusion of the British and American styles of blues. In the Czech Republic, Bailey will perform with guitarist Tomáš Frolík’s band The Bladderstones.
The opening concert will take place today, on 15 January 2019 from 8 p.m. at the Stará Pekárna club.
