Jake Green Band’s third album “Seven Years After” was released in December 2019, following their studio album “Plugging in” from 2015.

JESSIE LEE & THE ALCHEMISTS – France
It all started back in 2015, when the band began and quickly became a relentless Blues-Rock machine. The charismatic singer-guitar player Jessie Lee and the incandescent guitar player Alexis “Mr. Al” Didier – both creators and co-leaders of this project – backed by Laurent Cokelaere’s raising bass, Stéphane Minana’s foolproof groove for drums and Laurian Daire’s masterful organ just knocked on music’s doors. The first praises were not that far.
Qualified as “Europe’s blues scene hope”, the band started to sharpen its art on as many stages as possible before taking a huge step, in 2018, by recording their first eponymous album. The same year, the band was rewarded by 5 prizes during the International Mississippi Blues Trail Challenge. A first acknowledgement soon confirmed, in 2019, when they won the Challenge France Blues and a ticket to represent France at the European Blues Challenge 2021. All of those obviously sprinkled with the European audience support.
It is with its respectability’s armor and self-confidence that the band recorded in February 2020 at Studio Midilive their second album “Let It Shine” under Hugo Bracchi’s hands. They decided to add Fred Magnier (voice recordings and brass), Kevin Shirley (mix) and Alexis Bardinet’s (mastering) talents for technic. Let’s not forget the wonderful contributions of Amalya Delepierre and Eva Suissa (choirs), Sylvain “Sly” Fetis (sax) and Vincent Payen (trumpet). This project was all recorded and mixed in analogical to stay true to what inspired them for both music and writing.

RIPOFF RASKOLNIKOV BAND- Hungary
Both an accomplished blues guitar player and a prolific singer/songwriter, Ripoff Raskolnikov must be considered one of the most idiosyncratic figures on the European blues scene. Like thousands of his colleagues, he admires and reveres such blues greats as Blind Willie McTell, Skip James, Robert Johnson or John Lee Hooker. On the other hand, and quite unlike most of his colleagues, he has no desire to imitate or copy them. Nor, for that matter, is he willing to remain within the boundaries of what is generally accepted as the blues.
What does connect him to the aforementioned giants is his fully committed, unwavering integrity in exploring, and coming to terms with such human emotions as love, passion, desire, loss, pain, the quest of beauty, hunger for life, or fear of death. Driven by such forces, Raskolnikov unleashes songs of powerful poetic and musical expression which, more often than not, defy stylistic categorization.
On stage with his band, including Szabolcs Nagy on piano, Laca Varga on bass and Lajos Gyenge on drums, three excellent musicians from Budapest/Hungary who worked on his latest, much-acclaimed albums, whatever the line-up, Raskolnikov never fails to create an ambiance of poignant intensity. He is the sort of artist you like to watch as well as listen to. His stage charisma, his dry sense of humour and his highly personal approach to the blues make him one of a kind.

ORE ISLAND PENITENTIARY BAND – Sweden
Ore Island Penitentiary Band was born in the swampiest south of Sweden, where there may, or may not, actually be any swamps. We started playing blues standards but quickly realized that we were leaning towards a more theatrical and darker approach to the music, so we focused on the black magic and hence the concept of “rhythm and voodoo” was born. Musically we try to exist in a border-town where Dr John, Tom Waits, Screaming Jay, and Howling Wolf all would be welcome. The band consist of five members. Lupus sings, Jonatan plays the keys, Michel the guitars, Carl works the bass and Hans-Peter plays the drums, and Nils on sax. All the members are better musicians then the singer. But he makes up for it with his obsessive dancing, bootlegging, and general son-of-a-gunness. We try to go 50/50 with our own material and covers, but lately our own stuff has been spilling over.
