Blues Rock from Southern Black Forest. Blue Deal delivers powerful, modern blues rock with international appeal. Founded in 2015 by drummer Jrgen Schneckenburger and vocalist Joe Fischer, the final line-up came together during the pandemic featuring bassist Willi Macht and rising guitar talent Tom Vela, whose boundary-pushing, modern blues style sets a new standard.

The debut album Holy Ground (2022) earned glowing reviews and led to winning the German Blues Challenge. In 2024, the band reached the semi-finals of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis (USA). Their second album Cant Kill Me Twice , released via renowned label Dixiefrog, won the German Blues Award for Best Album 2024.A defining trademark of Blue Deal is the explosive interplay between Tom Velas genre-defying guitar work and Joe Fischers raw, expressive vocals. Backed by a tight rhythm section, the band delivers blues rock thats both contemporary and emotionally charged live and on record.
