The band has received countless accolades, including the "German Blues Award" and the title "Best Blues Band in Europe" from French music critics. Their album "Unique Taste" won the German Record Critics' Prize. In 2021, the band was named "Blues Band of the Year" by British radio station Blues Lounge Radio. In 2023, their new album "Lonesome In The Moonlight" was released. A contemporary album that ranks among the top international R&B releases. In 2026, their 18th album will be released. This band is a unique success story. B.B. & The Blues Shacks are known for spectacular live performances and have established themselves as a top act overseas. They've played in Dubai, at the Doheny Festival in Los Angeles, and at the Byron Bay Festival in Australia alongside artists like Bob Dylan, B.B. King, and Elvis Costello before tens of thousands of spectators. Frontman Michael Arlt (vocals and harmonica) ranks among Europe's premier blues and soul singers. He is also a unique entertainer. His brother Andreas Arlt is an elegant stylist and is now regarded as a world-class guitarist. With Fabian Fritz on piano and organ, the band secured another genius for their distinctive sound. Henning Hauerken (upright bass and electric bass) and Andre Werkmeister (drums) deliver the unique drive and groove that audiences take home with them.
