MUSIC STYLE Loup-Garou is an alternative blues band from Belgrade, Serbia. An unexpected fusion of melancholic blues, dynamic swing, energetic funk-rock and mystical swamp blues resulted in a new dimension of blues that hasn’t been seen before. Band composes original music that tends to shake foundations of the blues and expand its horizons. THE BAND Band published its first album Witchcraft and Spirits in December 2019. With its 13 original compositions it tries to capture the complexity of emotions of a today’s man. Sadness, grief, love, happiness and disappointment are embodied and expressed through an alternative version of blues, occasionally intertwined with references to Louisiana culture and symbolism of New Orleans voodoo. Band promoted the songs during their 2019 Balkans tour, successfully earning positive reviews and feedback from audience in Romania, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro, quickly ranking the band as the upcoming blues act of Eastern Europe. HISTORY The band was founded by lead singer and guitarist Vladan Petrović in 2016. He joined forces with harmonica player Ivan Jovanović and started working on their original songs. They completed the band’s final line-up in May 2018. The two make up the main creative engine of the band. Along with Vladimir Nedić (slide guitar) who gives the southern feel to the band’s sound and Milutin Kažić who is in charge of heavy-blues bass lines, impeccably aligned with Stefan Marković ‘s rhythms and timing (drums), Loup-Garou explores the limits of blues giving it a new dimension of “alternative”. Since band’s completion, the band has been regularly performing on major regional festivals and local blues, jazz and rock clubs. During the summer of 2019, Loup-Garou was on the first regional tour, playing on over 20 concerts in Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some of the notable festivals are: Open Air Blues Festival (ROU), Nišville Jazz Fest (SRB), Budva Beer Fest (MNE), Petrovac Jazz Fest (MNE), Beer Fest Bijeljina (BIH), Mountain Music Fest (SRB), Blues Pentru Timisoara (ROU), and others.
