A Contra Blues is a band formed in Barcelona (Spain) within the genre of blues. Since its foundation in 2005 the band have released two records: the eponymous A Contra Blues (2008) and Chances (2013) and they have also recorded two promotional demos of their concerts in 2010 in Sala Salamandra (A Contra Blues II) and in 2012 in the Conservatorio del Liceo (En vivo).

Tradition and heterodoxy live side by side in their repertoire, and both naturally come alive in the band’s fresh and seasoned performances of the classics as well as their own songs. The band’s performances boast both their spontaneity and carefully elaborated arrangements.

Their energetic shows, sometimes up to 180 minutes long, are filled with strength, solidity and empathy. A Contra Blues lives by and for the live show. In their performances they accomplish climactic moments and a natural rapport with the audience as much in the high moments of dynamism as in their more intimate sounds. Their live show leave no one indifferent and has led the group to be rewarded for it on several occasions.

Over the course of their career A Contra Blues has shared the stage with Archie Lee Hooker, Carl Wyatt, Nathan Williams & The Zydeco Cha-Chas, Joan Pau Cumellas, Jordi Bonell, Julio Lobos, Lluís Gómez, Tota Blues, BigDani Pérez and Víctor Puertas, among others.
