Ugriblues, Shetland Blues, Old Iron & Lutsuvad Kivid
This summer's Ugriblues Festival line-up has just been announced, featuring Honey B & Kuloniemi, Tuomari Nurmio, and many others. The Ismo Haavisto & Andres Roots in Muddy Waters quartet will be playing two shows in Tallinn: at Luscher&Matiesen on July 18th and at Noblessner on July 19th.
In September, Steve Lury, Andres Roots and Peeter Piik are to undertake a much longer journey to spend a weekend playing at the Shetland Blues Festival.
Much sooner, though, on May 18th, the Roundabout trio will appear at the Old Iron Weekender pre-party at Rock'n'Roll Heaven in Tartu, with Kalle Kindel filling in for Raul Terep on drums.
The summer should also see the release of "Lutsuvad kivid", a CD compilation featuring musical works and performances by Estonian writers and poets - and it should also include a track by Andres Roots. Stay tuned for details!

The "Ismo Haavisto & Andres Roots in Muddy Waters" tour went really, really well - thanks to everyone who was there! Starting from Lahti's legendary Torvi, the band continued to Järvenpää's Diggariklubi event at McArthur...

Next stop was a Haavisto/Roots duo show at Mikkeli Prison, followed by a slide guitar workshop and a band show at the Saimaa Blues Festival, then on to Kotka Rock'n Blues Society's birthday party at the legendary Kairo. A few days off, and then there was Illegaard in Tartu, Endla Jazz Club in Pärnu and the UnderGround Blues Festival in Põlva...

And then the tour was wrapped up with the "Muddy Waters 100" event at Tallinn's Von Krahl. However, there's already talk of a few additional shows later in the year... ;)
