All That Blues

"ALL THAT BLUES" - the 9th JAZZFEST OTTOBRUNN is dedicated entirely to the blues this year. The London Blues Collective, Greg Coulson, Jess Hayes and Connor Selby - among the most innovative and in-demand British blues musicians around - are coming to Ottobrunn.

Blues singer and guitarist Connor Selby has already won over the Ottobrunn crowd on previous visits. He was named "Young Artist of the Year" at the UK Blues Awards three years running, opened for The Who at Wembley Stadium, shared the stage with Pearl Jam, Stereophonics and Johnny Marr in London's Hyde Park, and toured with blues and rock heavyweights Robert Cray and Beth Hart.

Greg Coulson is a musical powerhouse - an expressive singer-songwriter and dynamic performer who blends soul and classic rock with the groove of blues, funk and jazz. He has quickly established himself as one of Britain's most creative and versatile musicians, and has collaborated with industry legends including the iconic Burt Bacharach. With a background in London's West End, he wows audiences with energetic Hammond organ solos, soulful songs and a voice to match.

Jess Hayes from South London is the powerhouse lead vocalist of Connolly Hayes, a band known for its electrifying mix of soul, blues and rock. Her voice is often compared to Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi. Her breakthrough came with a stunning four-chair turn on ITV's "The Voice", where her blind audition left the judges speechless and launched an exciting new chapter in her career.
