At this year's Bluescaravan the Norwegian Christina Skjølberg will present her new album Come And Get It, on which differentiated Bluesrock comes first. Slow Bluesfunk with cool riffs ("Come And Get It"), sizzling Bluesrock, accompanied by a beautiful Hammond ("Runaway"), a number inspired by Stevie Wonder ("Get On"), and harder Bluesrock ("Inspiration", "Hush") prove that the woman is almost one of the top musicians of the genre, both vocally and guitaristically. With her, Popovic now has a serious competitor.
With their two albums "Aquarius" (2010) and "Visions" (2011) the London band Haken documented their amazing variety of styles. With these she quickly became a secret underground tip. Two great gigs at the "Night Of The Prog" festival also contributed to putting the band on the radar screens of demanding prog fans.
