Bluustik (EST)
Bluustik mängib põhiliselt bluusrokki, põikab aga ka džässi ning 70ndate aastate progressiivroki juurde. Viiemehelises ansamblis toimivad koos nooruslik energia ja mõttevärskus ning vanema generatsiooni kogemused.
Laulja-suupillimees Jüri Kriisemann on üles kasvanud Koselt pärit bändiga Hõbekõrid, mis tegutseb etno- ja folkrock-grupina vahelduva eduga juba peaaegu 30 pikka aastat.
Raimond Virsa muusikutee algas ansamblis Spiritual Alien, mis saavutas konkursil “Koolibänd 2002″ kolmanda koha. Aasta hiljem tunnistati Spiritual Alien noortebändide festivalil juba parimaks bändiks ja Raimond parimaks kitarristiks.
Bassimängija Jüri Roosa on mänginud sellistes rokkbändides nagu GGG, Varaan, Vanemõde, Magnetic Band. Viimasel ajal tegutseb põhiliselt metallikunstnikuna.
Klahvpillimängija Peeter Virsa sai tuntuks progegrupiga Keel, Nahk & Poogen aastal 1971. Mehaanikainsenerist Peeter projekteerib ja koolitab, harjutab jätkuvalt pilli ja teeb bändi.
Andres Hion tegutses koos Peetriga ansamblis Keel, Nahk & Poogen. Hiljem on ta oma muude tegemiste kõrvalt mänginud trumme paljudes muusikalistes kooslustes.
Bluustiku esimene etteaste laiemale publikule ees toimus “Bluusmaratonil” 2008. aasta novembris Bikers Pubi rokiklubis Tallinnas.
Bluustik plays mainly blues-rock but inclines also towards jazz and progressive rock of the 1970s. Youthful energy and mental freshness as well as the experience of the older generation do interact within this five-man-band.
Singer and harmonica player Jüri Kriisemann has grown along with the group Hõbekõrid which has been performing as an etno and folk music group already for nearly 30 years.
