Treves Blues Band feat. Lou Marini Blues Brothers

It is with great pleasure that the Treves Blues Band returns, the Italian blues ‘band’ accompanied for the occasion of its 50th anniversary tour by a true icon of world blues: Lou Marini of the Blues Brothers. Fabio Treves' adventure began back in 1974, when he decided to bring the history and the great masters of the Blues to the fore and make them known to the general public, in the era of singer-songwriters and Prog rock. It was an incredible success, also dictated by the fact that Treves travelled the length and breadth of the peninsula for decades. The legendary Lou Marini of the Blues Brothers, often referred to as an ‘unsung jazz hero’ is a true icon of world blues. He has made a name for himself as a sideman in various high-profile groups, and any prominent New York jazz musician will tell you that he is ‘one of the best jazz musicians ever’. Marini, who lives in New York, is famous for his chameleon-like ability to imagine and execute inventive ideas in jazz, rock, blues and classical music. An evening not to be missed!

Opening is the welcome return to the Magic Blues of Andy Egert, one of Switzerland's best bluesmen guaranteeing refined blues in the style of Freddie King, Eric Clapton, Alvin Lee, Peter Green and Johnny Winter, but also acoustic blues a la Robert Johnson. Andy Egert mixes all this with his very personal and deep feeling for the devil's music. In 2010 he was awarded the coveted ‘Swiss Blues Award’ at the Basel Blues Festival. Welcome back Andy!
