The new album from Ida Bang & The Blue Tears, "Good To Me", is a mix of soul, rock and rhythm & blues. The album was recorded for four days in legendary Baggpipe Studios and is produced by Andreas Roos. Critically acclaimed Ida Bang & The Blue Tears draws inspiration from genre crossing artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Hozier and Alabama Shakes, and strive just like those against a modern blues sound of today.

The band was formed in 2013, and after being selected to represent Sweden in the European blues competition European Blues Challenge in Italy, the foundation was laid for a solid tour around the blues scenes in France, Portugal, Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Denmark, Finland and Norway, where they shared the scene with greats like Buddy Guy, Joss Stone and Beth Hart.

Reviewers describe the band repeatedly as a much needed, new and innovative band with skilled musicians and with their own sound. Ida has also founded the music collective Ladies Got The Blues, an all-female band that highlights forgotten female musicians in the blues history with sold out performances across the country.

Critically acclaimed and award winning Ida Bang & The Blue Tears is a young retro/roots band from Stockholm, which has been called “the rising stars of blues” in Scandinavia.

Ida Bang & The Blue Tears have received several rave reviews of both live shows and their album in some of Sweden’s largest newspapers, including Dagens Nyheter, Sydsvenskan, Barometern and Jefferson Blues Magazine. They are often described as a much needed new and innovative retro/roots band with talented musicians and a unique sound that still maintains a great respect for the roots of blues.
In 2016 they represented Sweden in the European Blues Challenge held in Italy, after winning the Swedish qualifying round. Their show was a success and became the competition’s big ”talking point”, paving the way for more touring beyond Sweden’s borders. In the summer of 2016 the band also released their first full-length album, Possibilities, containing 11 original songs that show the band’s range. Since the band was formed in 2013, they have become an appreciated live band that has appeared in Sweden’s major blues festivals and clubs.

25-year-old singer and songwriter Ida Bang sings with much feeling and intensity, as there is power and authority behind. She has done a lot for the new, more modern blues in Sweden by forming Ladies Got The Blues – an all female tribute band to women in blues, which also has taken Sweden by storm. She has also been working as a club organizer at Stockholm’s legendary jazz club Fasching.
The Blue Tears consists of four talented and experienced musicians: John Bernström and Leo Henriksson on guitar, Patrik Engström on bass and Leo Sund on drums. Artists like Bonnie Raitt and Tedeschi Trucks Band have influenced their songs, while the sound can be compared to The Black Keys and Alabama Shakes.
