Debut album launch, 'Blues for Minnie'. Honoring powerful blues women, Kaliopi & the Blues Messengers have honed in on pre-WW delta blues and arranged the works of Memphis Minnie as a foundation having developed their unique texture with double-bass & brushes flavour layered with early dixie piano, weaving clarinet blues licks, and delta guitar swinging grooves & shuffles topped with Kaliopi's soulful vocals having released 2 singles with official video clips and a 3 track EP Sampler all streaming worldwide.
KALIOPI & THE BLUES MESSENGERS celebrated their 1st anniversary performing St Kilda Blues Festival after officially launching at the Glenmaggie Blues & Roots Festival 2022 to vibrant receptions. In that time, Kaliopi's band has supported some of our country’s blues icons for Double Trouble Blues Sessions with her team of seasoned musicians.
Their live shows are energetic and engaging attracting and building a steady following in Melbourne and Victoria (with invitations for SA, NSW, Qld…and we want to add Tasmania and get around our great country). They are receiving national raving reviews for their live performances and single releases through AMRAP, Australian Musician & Neos Kosmos, the latter celebrating their native blues-woman.
