      About

      <STRONG>The Blues Preachers</STRONG> will take you to another place and time, somewhere between 1920 and 1940. Their music paints a landscape of pre-war struggle and determination with sounds reminiscent of the Deep South. The Blues Preachers perform a fusion of good old blues, rags, gospel and hillbilly folk. Driving finger-style and slide-guitar combined with tasteful harmonica and old-school vocal harmonies create a traditional sound that will have you on the edge of your seats. Their <strong>award winning original songs</strong> are about the big issues of today: addiction, greed, relationships, global warming, materialism, life and death and the search for truth and meaning in the great age of misinformation.<p> "The Blues Preachers record, Dry Long So, is one of the best blues records of the decade." Samuel Fell / Rhythms Magazine.</p><p> <strong>Awards</strong><p><strong> The Blues Preachers received Top 5 Nominations for 2 songs In "The Independent Music Awards"</strong> ...
