BLUES CARAVAN 2026
20th Anniversary Edition
At Ruf Records, one milestone follows another: just recently, the internationally renowned blues/rock label celebrated its 30th anniversary in style, and now it's the turn of its popular live revue Blues Caravan. In 2026, the show will embark on its 20th world tour. The list of artists who made their big career breakthrough with Blues Caravan is as long as it is impressive. It includes Ana Popovic, Samantha Fish, Aynsley Lister, and Joanne Shaw Taylor, to name just a few.
The three headliners of the anniversary edition, who are now following in their footsteps, embody an exciting mix of experience, great emotion, and youthful freshness.
The Laura Chavez , originally from California, is certainly the best known of the bunch. The gifted guitarist was the driving force behind singer Candye Kane's band for many years (Blues Caravan 2005 & 2008) and has played countless concerts alongside Nikki Hill, Vanessa Collier, and rock ‘n’ roll legend Mitch Ryder. Chavez knows how to thrill any audience with her song-oriented rhythm guitar and rousing electric guitar solos. Her excellent reputation in the scene was finally confirmed when she won the Blues Music Award for “Best Instrumentalist – Guitar” in 2023 – the first female guitarist ever to do so. Chavez will be performing on stage as a solo artist for the first time as part of the Blues Caravan.
Matthew Curry is a real insider tip for anyone familiar with the blues and rock scene. The American has been performing on stages across North America for over a decade, thrilling audiences with his unmistakable sound that blends blues, rock, and Americana. He has shared the stage with true greats such as Peter Frampton, the Steve Miller Band, the Doobie Brothers, and Blackberry Smoke.
The newest member of the group is French singer Elise FrankAs the frontwoman of the band FRANK, which was founded in 2021, she has already performed at renowned music festivals such as the Cognac Blues Passions Festival and the Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival. Her performances on the upcoming Caravan Tour are eagerly anticipated.
Even after 20 years and hundreds of shows, the tried-and-tested concept of the Blues Caravan remains unchanged. First, each of the three headliners plays a complete live set, before they all come together at the end for an exciting jam session.
