“An explosive, electrifying heavy-blues where the ghosts of The Black Keys, The Detroit Cobras, Queens of the Stone Age and North Mississippi Allstars loom in the background.” (Rolling Stone) “Drawing equally from Cajun bayou heritage and its blues-rock offshoots, Charb-On radiates contagious energy…” (Rock & Folk) Blending swamp-drenched grit with high-voltage intensity, Charb-On is a Bordeaux-based power trio delivering a raw, hypnotic take on heavy blues. Drawing from the spirit of Junior Kimbrough, T-Model Ford, the Red Devils, MC5 and early Black Keys, the band (Vinz Pollet-Villard, Alain Baudry, Florian Royo) channels a lineage of American underground blues and garage rock while forging its own sonic identity. Cut live in Austin at Electric Deluxe Recorders (home to Adrian Quesada – Black Pumas), The Austin Sessions captures five unfiltered tracks recorded in just three days with engineer Will Grantham. From the swaggering stomp of “Cherry Rum Boogie” to the fire of “Thru With You,” the menacing pulse of “Me & My 44,” and the Tex-Mex heat of “Loco,” Charb-On embraces both English and French lyrics with bold confidence. A striking first release from a band capable of shaking up the modern blues landscape, this EP sets the stage for a full-length album poised to push their heavy-blues vision even further — wild, hypnotic, and unmistakably their own

The Overground Blues: above the underground, below the mainstream. A musical crossroads between human rights, the Mississippi, Gubbio, and social inclusion. Maurizio Pugno, guitarist and creator of the project, after over forty years of blues and international stages, brings to life Sacromud, a sonic collective that transforms the “sacred mud” of the present into a contemporary ballad. Their sound is an “overground” blues — suspended between soul and earth — capable of telling the sensuality of human weakness and the new exoduses of modernity. With the gritty voice of Raffaele “Raffo” Barbi, the groove of Franz Piombino, and brothers Alex and Riccardo Fiorucci, Sacromud builds a live performance as a single musical suite, where soul, roots, funk, rock, and R&B merge into one narrative breath. From winning Best Rock Band at Rock Targato Italia, to triumphing at the Italian Blues Challenge and performing at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, the band continues its journey into the heart of true music. From the docufilm Gubbio to Memphis was born the travel trilogy: the double live album The Overground Suite and The Sun Experience, recorded at the legendary Sun Records. A circle that opens and closes endlessly — hungry for air, emotion, and cross-pollination. Five musicians, five visions, one sound: that of The Overground Blues — a collective breath lasting ninety minutes, crossing soul, mud, and freedom. Welcome to the Magic Blues!

A captivating journey through blues and soul. With its enveloping sound, rich in soul and vitality, the Eve Gallagher Band is a true tribute to blues and soul, played with passion and heart. During their live concerts and on their recent album, Roots, the band takes the audience on a musical journey to the origins of their music: a genuine, moving, and energetic experience. The charismatic Eve Gallagher made a splash on the international scene in the '90s with dance hits like You Can Have It All (produced by Boy George). Today, she opens a new chapter: after years in pop and dance, she returns to the music she has always carried in her heart – authentic blues and deep soul, played with intensity and truth. Alongside her is a band of extraordinary musicians: René Rothacher (guitar), Uli Heinzler (acoustic and electric bass), Roman Roth of Simply Red (drums), and Philippe Kocher (keyboards and organ). The Eve Gallagher Band is synonymous with true emotions, powerful grooves, and deep expressiveness. Eve’s mantra, “Music is a great healer and communicator,” runs through all her music: her voice touches, her presence magnetizes, and her art unites and inspires. In 2025, the band won the Swiss Blues Challenge, a recognition that celebrates their extraordinary artistic level and passion for authentic music, made with soul. An unmissable experience for those who love the truest blues and soul.." Welcome back to Magic Blues, Eve.
