MONTALVOR (POR)

Born in Lisbon, Ricardo Montalvor began writing his first songs during his teens; the late 80s. He was part of bands like The Brunch and Uruguay. In 2018 he released his first album "The Highway of Regret" on the Raging Planet label. With roots in Dark Country, his music is dressed with lyrics full of enigmatic and engaging autobiographical charge.

GREYHOUND’s WASHBOARD BAND (ALE/GER)

In the twenties and thirties of the last century, this sound could be heard on every street corner in the deep South of the USA. It was the heyday of the Blues and Boogie Woogie and the electric guitar had yet to be invented.

.Greyhound's Washboard Band uses musical instruments of the past including resonator guitars, washboard and a 100 year old Drum Bass to create their own sound.

This band really makes you feel the blues and puts a smile on your face at the same.

ALEXANDER DOLGOV & PORTO BLUES FEST BAND (UCR/UKR)

With this concert the Porto Blues Fest expresses its solidarity with the Ukrainian people and the affected populations, namely the artists who are thus prevented from carrying out their mission to society.

Art and culture are, in their essence, vehicles to bring people together, to stimulate dialogue and multiculturalism, to root humanist values and to promote peace.

Alexander Dolgov, founder of the blues movement in Ukraine lived in Karkhiv where he had his house and studio, which were totally destroyed by the Russian bombing.

On the recommendation of Rita King , daughter of B.B.King, Alexander Dolgov is inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame® as a Great Blues Artist, Ambassador of Ukraine to The Blues Hall Of Fame.
