TRAVELLIN' BLUE

Started late 2020 as 'full Belgian' band, Travellin' Blue Kings had a major update in autumn 2023, displaying solid letters of nobility and an impressive pedigree: Blues Lee, Last Call, The Electric Kings, The Scabs, Hideaway, Howlin' Bill, ... just to name a few.

Travellin' is not in the name by chance, these five gentlemen worked with their respective bands all over Europe. One could find them on festival stages in Norway, Sweden, Poland, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. And of course, in every corner of Belgium and the Netherlands.

The 'Bending The Rules' album, released in 2022, has been very well received and generated considerable airplay in Europe and the States (61 weeks (!) in Roots Music Report's Top 50 Blues Rock Album airplay chart in the US), resulting in the band being booked in France, the Netherlands, Germany and Norway.

But from now on, never say 'Travellin' Blue Kings' again, but say 'Travellin' Blue' !! A modified line-up, a renewed repertoire, written for the forthcoming 3rd album, which will do even more justice to the previous album title "Bending the Rules", prompted the band members to make this (minor) name change.

A critical view of the goings-on in the world anno 2024 is reflected in 'Lay Down Knuckle Under', the 1st single featuring Luke Alexander on guitar and Steve Wouters on drums. It's also the 1st forerunner to the 3rd album, scheduled for 2025 ...
