"The best Swedish blues I´ve heard in many years...!"

Hello Music Lovers!

Lennart here, from the Swedish band Karin Rudefelt & Doctor Blues. How about a fresh sample of some smokin’ and heavy Swedish blues to make your day more interesting?

We’re an established Swedish blues band looking for new opportunities abroad. Our latest album “magic brew” is a good representation of the diversity of our sound. We play only own material, firmly rooted in the blues with lots of influences from rock, funk and jazz.

We’d love for you to take a few minutes of your time and listen to some of the tracks from it, perhaps while reading the reviews below.

Tracks from magic brew.

Could have been you - the one who got away. Rock with that bluesy feeling to this one.
