The musicians have asserted themselves as the most original and talented representatives of Slovenian blues rock. If the harmonica never goes quiet and the percussive foot-stomping, the sounds of a slide guitar and husky singing refuse to stop, you can be sure that it’s none other than the blues duo consisting of Samuel Blues and Miha Erich.
