Comments Made About Blues Matters

“The Blues Revival is much heralded, but rarely seen, a bit like the 183 bus near where I live. It remains an underground music, a music of the people played by thousands of dedicated musicians who just want go out there and whip up a storm and with a bit of luck the eagle might fly on Friday. And cheering them on are the fans buying music, going to clubs, pubs, bars and festivals to support their favorites. And all this activity needs a focus – a place where enthusiasts and musicians can keep up with what’s going on and stuff what anybody else thinks.

Blues Matters does this in spades, respecting the music with its professional production values, acknowledging the past while promoting the stars of tomorrow – something old, something new, something borrowed, but always the Blues.” -

Harry Shapiro, journalist and author of biographies including Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. His authorized biography of Jack Bruce is published in November
