In the summer of 1997 guitarist Mick O'leary started what he called a modern blues band. As in the blues covers that the band play are from more contemporary artists, though the odd blues standard pops up in the set from time to time.
Some of the artists covered are:Coco Montoya, Blues'n'trouble, The fabulous thunderbirds, Sherman Robertson, Mike Morgan, and of Course, Albert Collins.
Having played the blues circuit in Dublin and Ireland for 10 years now, Travellin south intend now to aim for blues festivals in Ireland, Britain, Europe and beyond while still playing the regular venues such as JJ's, The Mezz, The Bleu Note etc.
The band line up now features the powerful male blues vocal of "Shorty" Slavinski who fronted the leading Polish blues band "The Mietek blues band"for 16yrs.
Above are 4 songs from our repertoire:1)Travellin' south,2)Precious,3)You don't know what love is, and,4)Look what you've done. "The Blues" is good time music!
