Concert: 14° Swiss Blues Challenge - Final

An evening dedicated to blues made in Switzerland with the 14th Final of the Swiss Blues Challenge and the last 2 national winners, Dan Mudd feat bearbeat winners in 2023 and Mark Slate & Rotosphere winners in 2024! Opening the event will be the raspy voice and extraordinary guitar technique of Dan Mudd, a true artist capable of telling stories and enchanting the audience with his music. Accompanying him will be Dominik Liechti, aka Bearbeat, with over 15 years of experience as a live musician. In April last year, in Braga (Portugal), the duo won the prestigious ‘Best European Solo/Duo’ award at the European Blues Challenge Finals.

This will be followed by the Finals of the 14th Swiss Blues Challenge 2025. Four finalists, chosen by the jury of the Swiss Blues Society, will compete live for the title of ‘Best Swiss Blues Band’: Amaury Faivre (Geneva), Eve Gallagher (Zurich), Noir & Gerber (La Chaux-de-Fonds) and the Ticino band Delta Groove Band (Lugano).

In closing, Rotosphere, led by talented guitarist Nic Niedermann and charismatic blues and soul singer Mark Slate, will take the stage. In January 2025, the band represented Switzerland at the prestigious International Blues Challenge in Memphis and, at the beginning of April, took part in the European Blues Challenge in Split, Croatia.
