Big Blind is an exciting young blues band from the beach resort Noordwijk in the Netherlands. Founded in fall of 2006, to produce a mean sounding, rawkin’ kind of blues influenced by acts like Howlin’ Wolf and more recent Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, The Red Devils, The Hoax, to name just a few, but not without having their own identity though. With their punky attitude, they simply rock the blues, hitting the listener in both stomach and heart.

These boys, with an average age of 24 managed to get a record deal with Cool Buzz, home of alternative roots and blues, within in their first year of existence, and recorded their debut album “Dressed To Win”, consisting of originals only. This ain’t no Armani Blues, people. It’s raw, uncut, sleazy and if you like your blues with a mean sounding harp - it’s an act not to miss!

The band played live at Radio 3, at festivals such as Ribs & Blues, Blues Rock Tegelen and the BRBF (Peer). In addition, they went to the UK by invitation where they were one of the highlights at the Linton Music Festival.

Their new album, "Circus Left Town", shows that the band has taken another big step forward and has developed from a promising to a mature band that does not shy away from the adventure. The release is accompanied by a tour during which Paradiso will be visited.
