About SlowBlues
An editorial archive celebrating the slow, soulful roots of the blues — from the Mississippi Delta to today's Nordic scene.
The roots. Everything else is the fruits.
What we do
Slow-Blues.com is my collection of everything I love about the blues: over 213 artists, festivals, a world map, radio, reviews and stories — with sources, so you can keep digging yourself. Merch and donations pay for running and hosting the site.
A New Chapter for Slow-Blues
Hello friends,
I want to personally let you know that SlowBlues.no has now officially moved to our new international home: Slow-Blues.com.
The reason is simple: I am moving from Norway to Warsaw, Poland, and because of this I can no longer continue using the Norwegian .no domain.
At the same time, this opens a new and exciting chapter for Slow-Blues as a more international blues platform.
If you have bookmarked the old website on your phone, tablet or computer, I kindly ask you to update your bookmark to the new address.
And if you know other blues lovers who still use the old domain, I would truly appreciate if you shared the news with them as well.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey.
— Kjell Mersland

Some portraits are marked “AI-generated interpretation”. That means there’s no good photograph of the artist, so I’ve had a tool draw an interpretation from historical sources. It isn’t a photo, and it’s always labelled on the profile page together with the image credit.
