Biography:

Based in Yekaterinburg (Russia), this electric blues trio is one of the hottest blues acts in Russia now. Raw sound and full contact with the audience make every their gig a 100%, uncompromising blues show. So, blues brothers and sisters, if you see BLUES DOCTORS in the club or festival schedule, be sure - you'll get a good shot of blues power!

The band was formed in 1998 by Vladimir Demyanov (guitars & vox) and his schoolmates: Michael Vasiliev on drums, Roman Imashev on keyboards and Evgeny Rinkevitch on bass. Influenced by music of BB King, Luther Allison, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter and many other blues and rock greats, musicians started to play electric blues. In 2002 musicians decided to name their band BLUES DOCTORS. 2002-2004: BLUES DOCTORS successfully performed at all major blues festivals and clubs in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and all over the country and became very popular on Russian blues music scene. In 2004 the band has released first CD - “BLUES DOCTORS” at "Mysteria Zvuka" - one of the biggest Russian record labels.

In 2005 there was the year of changes for BLUES DOCTORS. From soft and a little bit “academic” approach to the sound they turned to more rocking side of the blues music and classic power trio format. So, since 2005 BLUES DOCTORS are: Vladimir Demyanov – guitars/vox, Vladimir “Bob” Apanitsyn – bass/vox and Ilya Lyudevig on drums. In 2008 the BLUES DOCTORS began to work with Konstantin Plotcky who became bands manager and soundman. This cooperation brought the band to the next level.

Hard working on musical skills, sound of the band, the show and steady gigging at clubs, festival stages and concert halls of Russia and Ukraine has opened a new horizon: famous jazz piano player and producer Daniel Kramer invited them to play at blues festival “Big City Blues” at Yekaterinburg. Mr. Kramer joined the band on stage for a 30 minutes jam and gave a couple of very helpful advices.

In February 2009, BLUES DOCTORS due to invitation from Russian blues promoters played as the backing band for Keith Dunn - blues singer, harp player and brilliant showman from Rotterdam (Netherlands) at gigs in Yekaterinburg during his Russian tour. It was unique music experience because of the fact that Keith plays blues in old Chicago '50 style and BLUES DOCTORS have more blues/rock oriented sound. Playing with Keith inspired the band to make an acoustic record and in December 2009, BLUES DOCTORS have released EP "Acoustic Gentlemen".

In 2010 BLUES DOCTORS played together with Nicole Fournier (USA) and her band, played as backing band for American singer and showman Alvon Johnson. In September 2010 BLUES DOCTORS became founders and co-producers of blues festival “Big City Blues II” in Yekaterinburg and Ufa.

BLUES DOCTORS played together with Ana Popovic (USA), Marc Ford (USA), Jimmy D. Lane, Nazareth, Keith Dunn (USA/Netherlands), BB & The Blues Shacks (Germany), Kid Andersen (Norway/USA), Arsen Shomakhov (RU/Canada).
