This song video hard. 🤘Bennet might have grown up a classically trained violinist, but his father's love for Rock and Blues had as much an influence on him as his mother's love for classical music. Oliver's dad was a tour manager and roadie for Motörhead back in the 70's, having his first drum lesson with Phil Taylor when he could barely walk. Florian's love for grunge and hard rock was the first thing that gravitated him to the guitar. Sure, we love our folk, jazz, and classical music - but face melting rock will always be in our hearts.
When we first stepped foot in Louisiana back in 2018, we had spent weeks in the American south listening to some of our favorite Blues and Rock musicians. The energy of Americana with the raw power and drive us Blues Rock was something we wanted to capture in a song. While out on the Bayou we began to hear melodies, inspired by the Appalachian folk music that ends in the Mississippi delta. With all of those savory ingredients, we mixed up our own "blues" gumbo and named it "Bayou Blues".
There is a version of this song on our Spotify as a part of our "Super Bloom" album. It was in the earliest days of having written the song and it is a bit more tame and acoustic than how we now play it live. This version has all of the head-banging, fist pumping energy that courses through our veins every time we play it. Likely going to release this audio as a single in the coming weeks IF enough of you want to have it available for streaming!
We wanted to capture this raw and crazy energy in a one-shot video filmed by our brothers Martin and Eric from Centre Films!
