[CRO 🇭🇷]

Treće izdanje Solin Summertime Blues Festa vraća se u jedan od najljepših koncertnih ambijenata u Hrvatskoj - čarobni Tusculum, smješten u srcu ruševina antičke Salone.

Festival će se održati u četvrtak, 30. 07. i petak, 31. 07. od 21:00 h, a ulaz na sve programe je besplatan.

Već treću godinu zaredom Solin Blues Festival donosi vrhunska blues imena u jedinstveni ambijent antičke Salone. Festival iz godine u godinu raste, okupljajući sve veći broj posjetitelja, izvođača i zaljubljenika u blues. Ove godine ostvario je i važan međunarodni iskorak – u travnju je predstavljen na European Blues Challengeu u Katowicama (Poljska), jednom od najvažnijih europskih blues događanja.

Koncept festivala podijeljen je u dvije tematske večeri koje predstavljaju dva različita lica bluesa – Acoustic Blues Night i Electric Blues Night.

🎶 Acoustic Blues Night izvođači su:

- BLUE NOTE BLUES Trio

Prepoznatljivi po intimnim, ali energičnim nastupima u kojima se spajaju autentičan blues zvuk i snažna vokalna interpretacija. Posebno mjesto u njihovu repertoaru zauzimaju pjesme Janis Joplin, čija se energija i emocija savršeno stapaju sa snažnim vokalom Žane Jakulj.

- LIMA WICK & SHUTTERING BOB

Porch blues duo koji izvodi autorske pjesme inspirirane velikanima poput Taja Mahala, Ryja Coodera, J. J. Calea i Lightnin' Hopkinsa, donoseći iskren, sirov i autentičan zvuk američkog juga.

- SUNNYSIDERS ACOUSTIC

Nagrađivani blues bend koji od 2010. godine spaja blues, rock, soul i američku roots glazbu. Objavili su pet studijskih albuma, a njihov album The Bridges uvršten je među Top 200 Contemporary Blues Albums prema ljestvici Roots Music Report.

🎸 Electric Blues Night  izvođači su:

- HARPOON BLUES BAND

Veoma polularan peteročlani sastav iskusnih splitskih glazbenika osnovan još 2007. godine. Njihov glazbeni izričaj temelji se na Chicago bluesu, country bluesu, West Coast bluesu, swingu i blues rocku. Česti su gosti svih velikih blues festivala u Hrvatskoj a i šire, tei imati njih kao izvođače garantira izvrsnu večer i zabavu.

- GREG BLACK & THE BAD NOTION (Slovenia)

Slovenski blues-rock trio koji spaja sirovu energiju, virtuoznost i snažan autorski izraz. Inspiraciju pronalaze u velikanima poput Jimija Hendrixa, Led Zeppelina i Santane, stvarajući moderan i moćan zvuk prožet bluesom, funkom i jazzom. Nedavno su izdali autorski album “Brewing my Storm” pa će ovo ujedno biti promocija toga albuma u Hrvatskaoj.

Dva dana vrhunskog bluesa, jedinstveni ambijent antičke Salone i besplatan ulaz stvaraju savršenu priliku da kraj srpnja provedete uz izvrsnu glazbu.
