BLUES CORNER – PIGGY BANK BLUES – A heartfelt passion for the blues
Blues Corner explores the many faces of the blues with sincerity, energy, and modernity.
A story of friendship and rebirth
Blues Corner was born from the meeting of Phil Roman and Seb Oroval, two friends united by their passion for music. After a successful career in the music industry in England, Phil decided in 2021 to return to France to fully dedicate himself to his true passion: the blues. He then founded the band with Seb, a self-taught musician raised on the great standards of the genre. Together, they brought to life a sincere and powerful project, driven by genuine human and artistic complicity.
A new two-part concept album
Scheduled for 2025, Blues Corner’s new album promises an immersive exploration of the genre, built around two distinct universes that reflect the colors in which the band most recognizes itself :
- Chicago Blues, for its raw and electric energy,
- Roots Rock / Americana, more melodic and warm.
The album features prestigious collaborations, with contributions from Fred Chapellier (a pillar of the French blues scene), Marco Cinelli (Les Cinelli Brothers), and Sonny Landreth. Blues Corner is proud and delighted to bring together these renowned artists, who effortlessly added their unique touch and sensitivity to several standout tracks on this studio album.
The artistic direction was entrusted to Bruno Dandrimont, who relied on a first-rate lineup of musicians: Zizou Sadki (bass), Gael Cadoux (Electro Deluxe, keyboards), Jean-Luc Leonardon (keyboards), Hubert Motteau and Olivier Baldissera (drums), Christophe Dupeu (harmonica), Michel-Yves Kochman (slide guitar), and Jean-Yves Lozac’h (pedal steel). Their playing brings the album a depth and instrumental richness that fully matches its ambition.
With this double album, Blues Corner continues its mission: to pass on the blues, open it up to a wide audience, and modernize it, while remaining true to its heritage.
PIGGY BANK BLUES – First single from the album
The single Piggy Bank Blues, taken from the upcoming album, perfectly embodies the band’s philosophy: an authentic, heartfelt blues that is both accessible and committed. With its hypnotic groove, gritty riffs, and biting lyrics about financial pressure and personal sacrifices, the track stands out for its raw energy and emotional honesty.
More relevant than ever, Piggy Bank Blues resonates as a blues of daily survival, caught between hope and the wear of time.
Piggy Bank Blues: the raw sound of empty pockets and full dreams.
