Abstract:

'Unique Taste' marks the beginning of a new era for B.B. & THE BLUES SHACKS, Germany's leading blues band. 'Unique Taste' reflects the band's current development in style, taste and quality.

With 'Unique Taste' the band celebrates the 1960s!

Since the mid-1990s, B.B. & THE BLUES SHACKS have been regarded one of Europe's best traditional style blues bands. In the past, their music was rooted in 1940s and 1950s style blues and r&b. Founding members Andreas and Michael Arlt are the creative backbones of the band. Guitarist Andreas Arlt is known for his tasteful and incredibly impassionate way of playing the blues. His brother Michael is deemed to be one of Europe's leading blues and soul vocalists, performing on the same level of quality as Sweden's Sven Zetterberg, or Switzerland's Philipp Fankhauser. The Arlt brothers are also the band's songwriting team.

B.B. & THE BLUES SHACKS are breaking new ground. 'Unique Taste' presents their new approach to the music, their unique blend of soul and blues, deep and emotional, easy and grooving at the same time. It's the songs, it's soul and blues, music that touches your heart. Contemporary music, tender feelings. Vocalist Michael Arlt will take you through the ups and downs in life, while guitar-playing brother Andreas plays the blues for you, with respect to B.B. King and Little Milton.

On the basis of more than 1,500 shows and some fifteen years of experience including worldwide tours with shows in Los Angeles, Chicago and Moscow, B.B. & THE BLUES SHACKS are playing the international top-league of the blues. 'Unique Taste' will improve their international standing. Unique Taste – soul and blues, music from the heart.
