Blues with nerve and authenticity 

When combining a blues voice such as that of James Loveless with a guitar virtuoso such as Uffe Steen while Morten Brauner and Claus Daugaard provide a solid foundation of bass and drums, you’re in for something good.

Throughout the last 30 years, the four musicians of Shades of Blue have placed themselves in their very own category, which is characterised by blues with nerve and authenticity.

Influenced by Muddy Waters, Leadbelly, and Howling Wolf, the authentic expression shines through in James Loveless’ renditions, including in the classic repertoire or the band’s original tunes such as the autobiographic I’m Gonna Cut My Hair, and Get a Job.

It’s hard to ignore Uffe Steen’s exceptional guitar work. He effortlessly makes the guitar sing, cry, or laugh, as he magically pulls riveting riffs out his sleeve.

The foundation is laid by Morten Brauner’s solid bass work, which leaves room for the occasional solo. Then, the long figure wanders around the stage immersed in his music while drummer Claus Daugaard maintains the swing.

Look forward to a musical experience extraordinaire with the nation’s flagship blues band.
