Blues

The Moody Blues are a Psychedelic English Rock band originally from Erdington in the city of Birmingham.

There are at least two bands with this name:
(1) A German Rock band which formed in 2002, playing straight-forward guitar rock. They split up again in 2005, having recorded a single EP named "anna".
The members were Tommy Schulte-Wissermann (lead vocals and second guitar), Ulle Wolf (guitar), André Hoffend (drums) and Chris Wolff (bass).
Ulle and Chris are now playing in a band named "Garage Band" (see http://www.garage-band.de/).

Katey Brooks is a rising star of British acoustic music. Singing “splendidly sad-eyed modern spirituals” (Venue magazine) in a rich, deep voice lilting effortlessly across the scale, INDY Music Award finalist Brooks is “on the road to becoming a phenomenon” (Trevor Raggatt, Wears the Trousers magazine).

While most bluesy hard rock acts of the '70s and '80s hailed from the United States (the south, to be exact), there were several exceptions to the rule, such as Canadian singer/guitarist Pat Travers. Born in Toronto on April 12, 1954, Travers first picked up the guitar just prior to entering his teens, after witnessing a local performance by the great Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't long before Travers was studying the other top rock guitarists of the day (Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, etc.), and paying his dues by playing in bar bands in the Quebec area.
