If we bring together in a studio legendary harp player Ñaco Goñi (Tonky Blues Band, Jokers, Malcolm Scarpa, Ñaco Goñi y Bluescavidas), along with a true piano blues icon like the Donostiarra pianist and singer Paul San Martin (Stay Blues, Paul San Martin trio, The Fake Cousins), and we add, on one side, brilliant guitar player and singer from Madrid Edu Bighands (Dinamita Blues Band, Ñaco Goñi y los Bluescavidas, Whiskey Train, Edu Bighands) and, on the other, Granada´s guitar player and singer Fernando Beiztegui, completing the lineup with Catalan drummer Martí Elías (Mambo Jambo, Ray Gelato), La Blues Company is undoubtedly the best news any Blues fan could hope for in recent times.
Talking about La Blues Company, besides being the title of Ñaco Goñi and the first record published by Gaztelupeko Hotsak, is mainly talking about Donostia’s legendary La Gatera club. A place with a long history and a national reference that has been the cultural lifeblood of Donostia’s nights for over ten years. A club far away from fashions and passing trends, which preserved the blues spirit against all odds under Jon Gurruchaga and Santi Parra management. 25 years after its final closure, Jon takes the initiative to gather some of the genre’s most important performers.
