The Suitcase Brothers are a country blues duo founded in 1999 by the Puertas brothers, with Santos on guitar and vocals and Victor on harmonica and vocals. Some of their biggest influences are the legendary duo Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, but also duos such as Paul Rishell & Annie Raines and John Cephas & Phil Wiggins. The year after the beginning of the duo, in the year 2000, together with the composer Eduardo Arbide, they wrote and recorded some of the music soundtrack for the film "EL Bola", by director Achero Mañas, awarded 4 Goyas. "Hermanos Puertas" is the name of one of the songs.
They had recorded 3 albums and played multiple concerts, when in 2011 they were elected to participate in the first European Blues Challenge, held in Berlin. In 2013 they traveled to Memphis, TN (USA) and were the second prize winners for the best international blues duo in the IBC (International Blues Challenge), the blues contest in which more than 100 bands from all over the world participate in the category of solo/duo.
In 2014 they flew to Greensboro, North Carolina (USA) to participate in the contest organized by the PBPS (Piedmont Blues Preservation Society) and after winning the first prize, were able to represent North Carolina at the IBC that same year. Their fourth album "A Long Way From Home" was the best acoustic blues album of the year 2014 according to the prestigious music magazine Wasser-Prawda and was nominated for the best independent blues album of the year 2015 in Memphis, TN. Two Chicago blues legends are featured in the recording: Jerry Portnoy (Muddy Waters and Eric Capton) and Paul Oscher (Muddy Waters).
Internationally recognized, the Puertas brothers have established themselves as one of the best blues duos on the scene. The Suitcase Brothers have gained the respect and admiration of those who love this style of music and captivate anyone who listens to them for the first time. Santos and Victor Puertas perpetuate through their music the origin of the genre and make us fall deeply in love with it. Recently they released a new recoding, their fifth album, named "Love, Truth & Confidence: A Tribute To Piedmont Blues Legends Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee".
