Blues Wire

The Blues Wire were formed in 1983. A year later, they recorded the first blues album ever to be made by Greek musicians. Thousands of gigs in every kind of venue imaginable, scores of TV and radio show appearances in Greece as well as abroad and an enviable recording expertise have helped define their tight and recognizablesound, a mixture of passion and maturity that only comes with experience. Playing at festivals and clubs in countries like France, Italy, Austria and Hungary (among others) consolidated as well as increased their reputation which was even more amplified by numerous enthusiastic press reviews all around Europe. Through the years Blues Wire have often backed up top blues artists such as Katie Webster, John Hammond, Larry Garner, Big Time Sarah, Carey and Lurrie Bell, Angela Brown, Louisiana Red & Al Copley, to mention a few, proving they can keep up with the best of them. They have also opened for legendary musicians like Buddy Guy, John Mayall, Albert King, Otis
Rush and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Their skill and musicianship led them to memorable jam sessions with blues
pioneers like Champion Jack Dupree, rising stars like Sherman Robertson and well-known British blues players like Dave Kelly & Doctor Feelgood .
