Update

It has been a while since we provided an update to NZBlues.com - Rick Bryant has been writing songs, maybe we will spend a day with him on camera preparing for the next set of gigs. The best of these will be presented in various smaller formats in upcoming shows. Watch for details on NZBlues.com

In the meantime, head over to the Windy City Strugglers and keep up to date. The Strugglers are one of the best blues bands you could find - they have been around since the early days when Bill Lake took an interest in great music we all know about now, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf. Rick Bryant joined and the Strugglers started their long road.

Roots music, expertly rendered with classly simplicity ringing with an authenticy that's rare to behold. It's that kind of sound that everyone gets - some of it - most of it - is unreasonably good.

It's going to have to be a big year for The Strugglers, one of these years. This is their 40th anniversary, you see...

It was sad to hear of the death of one of the real greats Mr Bo Diddley - who unfortunately passed away this last week.
