The project was created especially for participation in the Suwa\u0142ki Blues Festival 2010, but only at the end of 2011 the band played its first concerts. Several years of cooperation between musicians from Suwa\u0142ki and Vilnius prompted them to establish a joint blues project. These are three very experienced musicians who present their compositions and blues standards in their own interpretation and with an interesting sense of blues phrases in acoustic versions. In 2012, they released a CD entitled ” “Union Of Blues”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
