Chicago Blues Revue is a young duet from Piaseczno, Poland (Warsaw's downtowns). Born 1989 and 1991, they play polish folk, highly influenced by traditional chicago blues artists like Sunnyland Slim, Sonny Boy Williamson II and Muddy Waters. We were formed May 2006, after we met at school fairs.
Band's members are:
Witek Bielski „Little Boogie Slim” plays piano and sings. Sometimes he even sharp his guitar in pre-war, Delta blues style. Antek „Kurson” Kurek who's making a lot of loudness by his harmonica. Kurson is also great entertainer, giving lectures about everything during the gig. He doesen't sing bacause he wants to keep the audience.
Since 2006 we've made some noise around the world:
-We gave a lot of gigs at best warsaw's jazz club - Tygmont Jazz Club where we worked as a resident band. Check www.tygmont.com.pl
-During the summer, in 2007, we participated in Blues nad Bobrem Festival & Blues Workshops. We also received two prizes in band's challenge, one for Best Traditional Blues and Witek received the second as multui-instrumentalist.
-We were actively celebrating 2nd and 3rd Polish Day of the Blues giving shows in Warsaw and Chorzow.
-October 2007 we played at Jimiway Blues Festival, Ostrow Wlkp, Poland. Year later we gave show at Myslowice Autumn with The Blues.
-February 2009 bring us to Memphis, TN where we participated in 25th International Blues Challenge. That was awesome thing! Thanks to all our friends and fans for their support!

Po polsku
Chicago Blues Revue to mlody (roczniki '89 i '91), stoleczny duet muzyków z Górnego Mazowsza. Graja folk piaseczynski w jego najczystszej postaci, choc pewne znaczenie maja tez wplywy tradycyjnego chicagowskiego bluesa (Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Sunnyland Slim).
Duet tworza: Little Boogie Slim - filar brzmieniowy zespolu! Jako pianista, glówny wokalista i gitarzysta ma najwiecej 'roboty' na scenie (ponoc gdy gra sam nie ma zadnej róznicy!).
Grajacy z nim harmonijkarz Kurson równiez spiewa, ale z rzadka (choc zawsze najczystsza gwara piaseczynska). Skupia sie na harmonijce i interakcji z publicznoscia.
Zespól zawiazal sie w okolicach maja 2006 roku i od tego czasu gra w niezmienionym skladzie.
Czym mozemy sie pochwalic?
