History
The roots of the Latvian Blues Band (LBB) go back to year 1997, when three young Latvian guys in Rīga, Latvia decided to form a band. They started out by listening to different blues masters, such as Elmore James, Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walter. While working hard on their blues skills, LBB received first local and international recognition by participating in several music festivals in Latvia and Lithuania.
In the beginning of 2000, Johnny V, a well known Canadian blues player, came to Rīga to record his CD "Blues Party" together with LBB. Johnny V also helped LBB to find their way to Canada, where they participated in several blues festivals ("Blues Fest International", Windsor and London, "South Country Fair", Fort Macleod) and played in different blues clubs, e.g. "Silver Dollar Room" in Toronto.
