Virtuoso musicians, outstanding live performances and a groundbreaking sound: BLINDSTONE are the new generation of blues rock.

Blindstone was formed in Thisted, Denmark, in 2002. Founding members, Andersen and Bunk, have worked with artists such as George Clinton, the late Billy Preston and Bobby Womack. The bands second album, “FREEDOM’S CALLING” was featured as album of the month by the noted american music-site THE CUTTING EDGE. On the following album ”RISE ABOVE”, danish guitar hero Poul Halberg and King’s X-guitarist Ty Tabor each made a guest appearance. Steven Reid of british rock magazine FIREWORKS, stated in his review that ”RISE ABOVE is a glorious, hard-hitting and memorable album that is packed with wonderful musicianship and cracking songs”.

Live, the band is a highly energetic Hard Rock / Blues Rock experience, characterized by a playful, jam-like approach to the material, with a firm focus on Andersen’s truly remarkable guitar playing and outrageous showmanship. The band’s most recent album, ”Live In Denmark”, which was released on March 27th, 2015, perfectly captures the essence of the band’s incendiary live performances.
