- BEST BLUES ROCK BAND -     

Top-Notch Rough ‘n’ Rockin' Blues! 

Some play the blues; others live it. And then there are those who bring it to the stage with such force that they leave no stone unturned.

Winner of the German Rock & Pop Award for “Best Blues Rock Band 2025”, the band led by frontman Blind Dog Mayer is what happens when over 25 years of stage experience meets pure, explosive passion for playing. We’re not talking about tame, standard rhythms here—we’re talking about blues that takes no prisoners.

Dirty – Honest – Rousing – that’s how you can describe their sound!

Forget everything you know about “tired” blues. The Blind Dog Mayer Group’s repertoire is a highly potent fuel mix of:

• Dirty harmonica blues
• Dusty hard boogie
• Danceable Texas Blues 'n Roll
• Brand-new original songs that catapult the genre into the year 2026 with influences from British blues and a ’70s vibe.

Frontman Blind Dog Mayer (vocals and harmonica) has been a fixture on the international scene for a quarter of a century. With chart placements (UK/USA) under his belt and a list of collaborators that reads like a “Who’s Who” of blues legends (he has shared festival lineups with Robert Cray, Walter Trout, Glenn Hughes, Jimmie Vaughan, Canned Heat, Maceo Parker, Erja Lyytinen and many more), he knows exactly how to captivate an audience.

He is backed by the scene’s most powerful groove section: Marco Schmieden (drums) and Michael Jung (bass) provide the foundation. On guitar is Dirk Lenz. He plays the blues like few others in his field. He also fires off heavy rock riffs off the cuff as if there were no tomorrow. His consistently highly emotional and energetic playing captivates every audience. A guitarist in a class of his own, he perfectly complements Mayer’s powerful vocals and takes the band to the next level.

For promoters, the band is a guarantee of “the best atmosphere in the audience.”

Why should you book The Blind Dog Mayer Group? - Because the numbers and reactions speak for themselves:

• Support act: for Erja Lyytinen (FIN) at the Blues Club Luxembourg 2026

• Guaranteed success: “Full House” at the renowned Sang a Klang (Luxembourg, Blues 'n Jazz Rallye 2025).
• Headliner status: Acclaimed top act at the Dieb’ Rock & Blues Festival (France).
• Seal of quality: Current winner of the German Rock & Pop Award 2025.

Whether it’s a club gig or a major festival lineup: We deliver a show that’s entertaining, energetic, and musically top-notch. We don’t just bring instruments - we bring an atmosphere that lasts.

...The band really knows their stuff (solid blues)

(Dieter G.)

I was at Sang a Klang.... That was really awesome of you guys!!!

(Wolfgang S.)

Tonight I was in Illingen (at the Illipse)... they were playing blues-rock... but they were so good—it took my breath away. I knew they were good, of course...

...but the Blind Dog Mayer Band plays so convincingly, with such enthusiasm - simply phenomenal. No wonder they won the German Rock & Pop Award.
