The Greyhound George Band stands for blues, soul and boogie, as it could come from a juke joint in the Mississippi Delta or from a smoky club in Chicago or Memphis. This is music full of joy, lively and dynamic with groove and a lot of feeling, straightforward and yet virtuosic. This sound is interpreted authentically and freshly by the Greyhound George Band and so, in addition to some classic blues titles, the band's repertoire mainly includes their own songs. Musically, the boundaries between blues, jazz and soul, between Memphis, New Orleans and Bielefeld, are sometimes blurred.

The blues is often wrongly misunderstood as sad or even depressive music. The opposite is the case. The music of the Greyhound George Band is medicine against the everyday blues and so the listener can expect a blues party on the highest musical level!
