Nick Moss and Dennis Gruenling's band is certainly the best Chicago has to offer in blues.
Event details
Both have won numerous US Blues Music awards. The band was voted Band of the Year in 2020 and the album 'Lucky Guy' was CD of the Year in the US.
Since we have a regular exchange with the musicians and talk through the line-up as well as the shows in detail, we agreed with Nick that we would complete the band with the blues legends, the great singer and harmonica player Steve Guyger and the great saxophonist Sax Gordon. A super concert in the best Chicago blues tradition is guaranteed.
Nick Moss is deeply rooted in the Chicago Blues tradition. At the same time he develops the tradition in his pieces and carries it into the future. His years of apprenticeship and travel take him to the rough and sometimes run-down blues clubs on the south and west sides of Chicago. Along the way he plays with some giants of Chicago blues like Jimmy 'Fast Fingers' Dawkins, Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith and Jimmy Rogers. With the music of Jimmy Rogers, yes, two days later there will be a tribute concert. Today Nick Moss is one of the greats in international blues.
Nick is a stirring guitarist and a pithy singer who has a great band at his disposal. The band with harmonica player and singer Dennis Gruenling, bassist Rodrigo Mantovani, pianist Taylor Streiff have been playing together for many years. The drummer Pierce Downer is the newest member of the band
Since Nick formed his own band in 1997, 15 CDs have been released under his name. For some time now, these have been released on the most famous blues label of all, Alligator Records.
Nick is always playing with musicians like Buddy Guy, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Gary Clark, Jr. or David Hidalgo.
New Jersey native Dennis Gruenling is an absolute top harmonica player and singer. His fat harmonica sound, soulful vocals and raw, unbridled energy are the perfect counterpart to the inspired guitar playing and impressive vocals of Nick Moss. Dennis Gruenling is strongly influenced by harmonica greats like Little Walter or George "Harmonica" Smith but also by jazz saxophonists like Lester Young. There are about ten solo CDs under his name.
Since the two got together, the CDs "The High Cost Of Low Living" (2018) - number 3 on the Billboard Blues Chart - and "Lucky Guy!" have been released. The latter is produced by Kid Andersen at his Greaseland Studios in San Jose, Calif. The album includes traditional Chicago blues but also Louisiana swamp pop, West Coast blues or New Orleans funk.
All that alone is more than you can expect at a concert. Not at Groove Now: With Steve Guyger and Sax Gordon there will be other great musicians on stage who are very familiar with the music of Nick Moss.
Don't miss the concert at perhaps the best smaller blues festival in the world!
A great concert is guaranteed!
