 Hailing from Bristol UK, The Terraplanes Blues Band have established themselves as a force on the UK blues scene with their brand of authentic, hard hitting R’n’B. In March 2022 they release their debut album of 12 original tracks full of swagger and style, reminiscent of the British R'n'B boom of the 1960's. Recorded at Foel Studio, Wales and Pirate Studios Bristol, The Terraplanes first album Stepping Stones follows on from their critically acclaimed E.P Midnight Train (released May 2020).

Opening track and first single Highway 61 (released 29^th January 2022) is a rhythmic, stomping blues number with all the trademark Terraplanes sounds and a great indicator of the vibe of the album.

The vocals impress with subtle changes between gritty, barrelhouse tones and laid back delta country blues. The lyrical themes throughout the album are steeped in blues history and the bands influences are there to hear. This four piece are certainly bringing a great dimension to the current blues music scene.

Formed in 2013 as a duo, Nick and Eduardo expanded the band to a 4 piece in 2014. The chemistry between the two founding members is the driving force of the band and their reputation as a formidable live act continues to grow. Under the wing of MAS records, a scheme with patrons like Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, the band gained mentorship and guidance in helping them achieve their goals. The Terraplanes have been on the rise ever since.

 

Full page interviews in prestigious blues publications such as "Blues In Britain" and "Blues Matters" magazines and a breakthrough appearance at The Great British Rock & Blues Festival have cemented the bands position at the forefront of the UK blues scene.

Singer Nick Scrase - "We're so proud of what we've achieved so far and really excited about our plans for the future"
