Do you know that feeling? You're home from work, and just then the phone rings nonstop, and someone steals your precious free time. It happens to all of us sometimes. This is the everyday blues that Joris Hering tells us about – in songs about love and arguments, about cats and other strays, in songs about life, death, and rainy days in Berlin. Or maybe you need some help with voodoo? No problem – the Joris Hering Band has the perfect song for that, too.

The Joris Hering Band plays blues, blues rock, and related genres. It was founded in 2003 by brothers !omas and Joris Hering. Since then, the band has toured with a slightly changing lineup, performing a program that combines original songs with reinterpretations of well-known blues numbers. The classic three-piece lineup creates an open yet powerful sound.

With their original German lyrics, the band stands out from common clichés. Because blues isn't just sad, blues isn't just English, and blues isn't just American. With their new program, the three musicians from Berlin-Weißensee demonstrate that rousing, energetic blues doesn't always have to come from the Delta.
