TRAVELERT: Krakow Concert and Event Alerts

Tomorrow concert – Friday, 1st of Octobert in Ptasiek Music Club & Cafe on Dajwór St 3

“Blue Machine play many shades of blues-rock music. Since this style has been overused throughout the years of its existence, the band is constantly looking for their own, individual voice within it. That’s why, listening to Blue Machine, you will hear not only electric blues, but also reggae melodies, funky rhythms, heavy rock flare, industrial grinding and dissonance, jazz-rock improvisation or even echoes of folk music from different corners of the world. Among other achievements, Blue Machine were prizewinners at FAMA Festival 2008, supported Joe Cocker in Kraków and appeared at many blues festivals. Some of their songs went into the alternative charts of Radio Kraków. In 2009, the band was reinforced by Tomek Kamiński, an outstanding harmonica player from Białystok, who has collaborated with most of the significant blues musicians in Poland . The project proves that the unusual combination of two harmonicas on one stage is perfectly justifiable, as it inspires the whole band and gives them new means of artistic expression.” – that’s what imprezy.krakow say.
