B.B. & The Blues Shacks, the Hildesheim cult formation around the brothers Michael and Andreas Aarlt, are one of the most successful active blues bands in this country with several thousand live gigs and numerous releases on the credit side.

Already in 2015 they released their debut album of the same name as Bonita & The Blues Shacks with Bonita Niessen, a singer from Cape Town. The combination of the experienced blues quintet and the pop and soul singer with many years of TV experience turned out to be a wonderful self-propagator, after Bonita had already enthused on previous recordings and live appearances of the band by guest appearances.

With the brilliance of the great ladies of blues like Ann Peebles, Etta James or Lula Reed her variable and glamorous voice fits perfectly to the BB's, who like to move in the nuances of blues styles up to soul anyway, as well as to the 16 brand new songs on "Sweet Thing", ten well chosen and eloquently interpreted genre classics plus six perfectly fitting original compositions.

And of course BB's singer Michael Arlt is also on the harp and as duet partner on the microphone. Every song sits here and the album is thoroughly gripping, danceable and enormously varied.

with Bonita Niessen, one of South Africa’s most soulful singers, you get one of the
most stunning records of the year.
The musical craftsmanship of the Arlt brothers, Andreas on guitar and Michael
on vocals and harmonica, brings a deep seated love and respect of American
blues and soul. By adding the world-class
vocals of Bonita Niessen, they found the perfect voice to explore the connections between blues and soul that existed in the 1950s.
Combining the multi-genre guitar of Andreas, the gritty blues harp of Michael, and the fiery voice of Niessen, the unit breathes fresh life into blues classics!
or 25 years, "BB & The Blues Shacks" world as a top act the scene move. Those who appreciate authentic R & B like traditional blues, can not ignore this band.

Consciousness anchored in the roots of the genre and yet open to new adventures there is now a co-operation that can sit up again the Blue World: The Blues Shacks go with the unique singer Bonita on tour. Now Bonita and the BBs are also to live. For years, was no longer listening to something on Blue paths. A voice that covers the span of an entire musical era - from the R & B a Ruth Brown or Lula Reed up to Sixty Soul Stuff à la Etta James or Ann Peebles. These Bonita has a stage presence that makes it difficult to viewers for breathing.

Traditional Rhythm & Blues and Soul to let off steam and melt away.
