Mönsterås Bluesband

**Mönsterås Bluesband** is a Swedish blues ensemble rooted in the small coastal town of Mönsterås, known for their gritty, no-frills approach to classic blues traditions. Formed in the late 1970s, the band has spent over four decades honing their raw, soulful sound, blending Delta blues influences with a distinctly Scandinavian sensibility. Their longevity is a testament to their dedication—evident in releases like *40 Years Live* and *Samlade Verk 1978 - 1993*, which compile their earthy live energy and studio work.

With a discography that includes stompers like *Tåget Går* and introspective tracks like *My Blues Came Back To Me*, they’ve built a loyal following in Sweden’s blues scene. Their *Live At Pama Studios* recordings and compilation albums (*Frön Från Fjärran Tid*, *Samlade Verk 1994 - 2009*) showcase their knack for preserving blues authenticity while staying connected to their hometown roots. Though they fly under the international radar, Mönsterås Bluesband remains a beloved fixture for fans of unfiltered, down-home blues.
