Blues for Greeny

  • Google Calendar ICS

The American live performing tribute band dedicated to the legacy and influence of the late great guitar hero: Peter Green. Reviving an iconic era of British Blues and 60’s Psychedelia with the original Fleetwood Mac, Blues For Greeny takes to the stage with the early album's covers of Elmore James, B.B. King, and Howlin Wolf, and lights up the crowd with all the classic rock songs of Peter Green and his counterparts - Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood. From the blues rock of “Oh Well” and "The Green Manalishi", to the dreamy guitar ballads of “Albatross” and “Need Your Love So Bad”, experience the black magic live in a channeling of the Green God for modern day audiences and original fans alike. 

Led by guitarist & singer Daniel "Dude" Cervantes, known for his work with seminal California psych rock groups Howlin Rain, MRS. HENRY, and The Band Official and Robbie Robertson sanctioned tribute Chest Fever, Blues For Greeny features on guitar Dylan Donovan of Sacri Monti, the heavy shuffle drums of Justin De La Vega, and the walking roots bass & vocals of ginger haired Ryan Grenda. Together, the four re-create the red hot blues and twin lead guitars of Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac with their own fiery spirit. It’s fast, mean, and full of admiration for the timeless sound of the blues and rock n roll.
