Red House - Saturday Night Blues Band

India's got the Blues. This ws submitted by a viewer. Really cool set! We are a blues band based in Calcutta, India. We go by the name, The Saturday Night Blues Band and have been playing together for the last 11 years.
The band has been playing at the Someplace Else Pub ,the music mecca of Calcutta every weekend for the last 11 years and over the years have gathered a large following. Apart from that we have been traveling extensively and playing all over the country at bars, pubs, and festivals and has found considerable acclaim.
On the 6th of February,2011,the band opened for none other than Buddy Guy at India’s first proper international blues festival, the Mahindra Blues Festival where we also shared bill with the likes of Shemekia Copeland, Jonny Lang, Matt Schoffield (U.K) and of course Mr Buddy Guy!

These guys opened for the great Buddy Guy at the Mahindra Blues Fest, Mumbai, 2011

  1. It's cool to see what the guy with the signature Strat can actually play. The music's really sweet too, great to see other cultures immersing themselves with great music from an entirely different culture. Sweet post.

  2. Thanks. I agree. These guys are doing a great job with the prime influence being so far away. I'm looking forward to posting more of their work in the future.
