BLUES CARAVAN 2026 – Celebrating 20 Years of Passion, Talent and Unforgettable Live Moments
With the release of "Blues Caravan 2026 – Live", Ruf Records celebrates the 20th anniversary of a concert series that has become one of the most important launching pads for international blues talent. Recorded on January 31, 2026, at the renowned Blues Garage in Isernhagen, Germany, the CD/DVD set captures an extraordinary evening filled with energy, musicianship and the spirit that has defined the Blues Caravan for two decades.
Since its inception, the Blues Caravan has helped numerous artists take the next step in their careers. Former participants such as Ana Popovic, Samantha Fish, Aynsley Lister and Joanne Shaw Taylor have gone on to become some of the most celebrated names in contemporary blues.
The 2026 anniversary edition brings together three outstanding artists representing different facets of today's blues scene. Award-winning Californian guitarist Laura Chavez, whose work with Candye Kane, Nikki Hill, Vanessa Collier and Mitch Ryder has earned her widespread recognition, made her Blues Caravan debut as a solo artist. Alongside her, American blues rocker Matthew Curry impressed with his powerful blend of blues, rock and Americana, a style that has already brought him to the stage with artists such as Peter Frampton, the Steve Miller Band, the Doobie Brothers and Blackberry Smoke. Completing the line-up was French newcomer Elise Frank, who has already made a name for herself on prestigious European festival stages with her band FRANK and who adds fresh energy and a distinctive European touch to the line-up.
True to the Blues Caravan tradition, the evening opens with a joint performance by all three artists, followed by individual sets before the musicians reunite for the show's grand finale. These spontaneous collaborations and the unique chemistry between the performers have always been at the heart of what makes the Blues Caravan experience so special.
"Blues Caravan 2026 – Live" captures that atmosphere in all its authenticity. More than just a concert recording, the release serves as both a celebration of twenty years of Blues Caravan history and a testament to the enduring power of live music, exceptional guitar playing and genuine musical passion.
