Blue Deal
Blues-rock quartet from Germany's Southern Black Forest (2015–), 2023 German Blues Challenge and 2024 German Blues Award winner.
Musical Influence
In just five years, from the 2015 founding to today's line-up settling in 2020, Blue Deal has gone from a local Black Forest project to representing Germany in Memphis — a trajectory that underlines how quickly a band with the right mix of experience (Joe Fischer's nearly 25 years with the Cadillac Blues Band) and fresh energy (Tom Vela's guitar work) can build an international profile (Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Deal). Their deal with French label Dixiefrog for "Can't Kill Me Twice" and "Make A Change" places them in an international blues network beyond Germany, and the Best Album win at the 2024 German Blues Award cements their standing as one of the more promising contemporary names in German blues-rock (Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Deal; dixiefrog.com).
