This journey leads the audience also through the golden area of blues: the fifties and sixties, where blues-gods like Elmore James, Buddy Guy and BB King hit the many Juke Joints around in the US and spreading the blues also to overseas countries.

Blue Century’s playlist contains blues songs from many famous artists. Some of them from the early “20 Robert Johnson, Elmore James, and Willy Dixon. Some are considered as standards, some others unusual and hardly heard on stage. But also own original songs.
