The Story of The Blues” is a unique, rich, fascinating and sentimental musical journey, taking the audience through various regions, eras and sounds of the Blues – a journey that began over a century ago and is still going strong. The leading local blues band “The Zilla Project” will be joined on stage by four special guests from Greece, including acclaimed pan-European Blues veteran Elias Zaikos, founder and inspiration
behind this project, as well as two musicians on horns and a female vocalist.
The programme will begin in Mississippi at the dawn of the 19th century, gradually taking audiences into the
Blues of 1930s New Orleans, 50s Chicago, 60s England, 70s Texas, 80s Boston and finally international Blues of the past 35 years. Before and during the concerts audiences will enjoy audio-visuals in the form of video projections and slides relating to the places, musicians, and legends of the Blues.
