Opening concert: Samuel Blues x VJ 5237
Wednesday, 25. 9. 2024 at 21.30 / Vetrinj mansion, courtyard
Samuel Blues
A musician, not a singer-songwriter, a master of grunge blues psychadelia from the Jesenice area. The multi-instrumentalist, who plays guitar, harmonica, keyboards, bass, drums and sings at the same time, has been on the scene since 2012. During this time, he has recorded 13 lo-fi analogue albums in his room, all by himself. Bluesy in this and that way, in Slovenian, English, instrumental, with one or two electronic and one punk album, as well as an instrumental psychedelic one with surf guitar elements. His lyrics are humorous, sharp-tongued, strong and sincere, reflecting random everyday episodes or various societal issues. He always fills the stage with his strong presence and energy, his deep raspy voice and his skillful guitar playing (sometimes adding a homemade drum as well). He will take us on a journey through diverse soundscapes to unplug in a world of vivid imagination, powerful poetic expression and that infectious blues rhythm.
Samuel Blues is Samo Pivač.
