In October 2005, both concert evenings as part of the annual 'Blues Shacks Festival' in their hometown of Hildesheim, Germany were mind-blowing events. The 'Vier Linden' ballroom was sold out on both nights with more than 600 fans attending. Pushed on by the never-ending enthusiasm of the audience, B.B. & The Blues Shacks did a fantastic job with verve, while having enormous fun.
The band, which was formed in the late 1980s, today is ranking among the most consistently booked in the European tour calendar. With their original and, at the same time contemporary variation of electric Blues and R&B from the forties and fifties, they have won fans all over Europe, in the U.S.A., Japan, Australia, and Russia. 'Live At Vier Linden' shows the band in superb shape.
B.B. & The Blues Shacks in top form, last but not least thanks to the stimulating enthusiasm of a superb audience!
