The Jujubes (UK)

One vocal, one blues harp and two guitars are what makes The Jujubes authentic yet unique blues sound. Sandy, Nikki and Pete make up the trio based in South East London via Scotland, Nottingham and Hackney. Born out of a passion to keep this genre alive, The Jujubes on their debut album have chosen eight songs from childhood memories of discovering the blues and three originals, recorded in their living room.

With only the desire to create something that felt right and felt good, The Jujubes hope that listening to this album will remind you of the Willie Dixon quote “The Blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits”.

This album is great to listen to something that reminds you of how the raw simplicity of blues and how it can be carried forward and all of this style of music isn’t just left in the archives of time (Ben Darwin – Blues from the Ouse)

Mr. Lovo (CZ)

The band was formed in 2020, when a bunch of friends got together who had been looking for themselves musically for some time. The resulting formation Mr. Lovo was the result of their common love for experimentation, improvisation and an open approach to music creation. From the initial cover versions of songs by well-known jazz rock / fusion and funk artists, they developed their own creative expression and began to compose their own music.

If the listener is curious, an unusual musical experience awaits him. Colorful musical nooks and crannies abound with musical puzzles that Mr. Lovo helps to solve with a result that may surprise the ear, but fortunately only a nice, relaxing and harmonious resolution.

Although each member of the band represents an absolutely unique creative force, they all fit like bricks into the mosaic that is Mr. Lovo’s face.
