It’s last call for drinks, but too early to dream away your sorrows.
Outside you can taste the rain, and a dark wind bites you as it races by.
You hear a sound that draws you to a threshold of a bar, a sound built of the old
machinery of the blues, but with funk and soul and rock bolted on.
It shakes; it rattles; it dances; it lives. That’s the sound of the Blues Engine.
Blues Engine formed in London in September 2013, and played their debut gig at Ronnie Scott's bar on 30 January 2014.
Our first album, The Quick and the Dirty, was formally released on 4 July 2015. It was chosen as one of the Independent Blues Broadcasters’ Association’s picks of the month for August 2015, and so went to number 1 on the IBBA chart.
Second Album 'Tracks' is out now!
We were nominated for a UK Blues Award for Best Emerging Artist.
