BANDANA BLUES invites you on a musical journey every week for about an hour and a half of 21st Century Blues with a nod to The Masters. Beardo (from Philly, USA) started with the Bandana Blues shows doing them live on the internet in the late 1990's and was soon joined by his long-time friend Spinner (from The Hague, NL). Soon after the turn of the century Bandana Blues became a weekly podcast. Beardo & Spinner have produced the shows together for almost 15 years. After the sad and suddden demise of Beardo in 2017, Spinner continued the labor of love on his own.
