The Jumpin’ Bones

Biography
The Jumpin' Bones are a Rhythm 'n Blues band formed in Athens, Greece during the Spring of 2014. Due to their powerful performances at home and the positive reviews for their first album on an international level, they are already considered one of the most important greek blues bands.
Their debut album “Marrow” was released both digitally and on CD on November 2015 and included six original compositions and a cover. It received good reviews both at home and internationally from blues magazines and sites like Blues Blast Magazine (USA), Blues Matters (UK) and Bluesnews (DE). In 2017 the vinyl version of the album with two “bonus tracks” was released by Ikaros Records. That same year the EP "Live at Merlin's Den" was digitally released.
The Jumpin’ Bones have performed live at the most famous athenian clubs like Six Dogs or Half Note Jazz Club, as a house band for big dance events and festivals (Social Ballroom: Still Got the Blues at Stavros Niarchos Foundation), Wild West Festival (The Ranch), Boogie Explosion (Fuzz Club), Christmas Boogie (Fuzz Club) and also in various festivals (Ziria Music Festival, Ramones tribute Festival in Kyttaro Live Club, Blues to the Bone Festival: A Live tribute to B.B. King.), Ampeli Fest (Tranampelo Naxos).
Their unique sound brings to mind early Rhythm 'n Blues bands but with a twist of modern West Coast blues. Although their music sounds unconventional and modern, it retains the jumpy groove that listeners feel like dancing to.
