BLUE DEAL

Blues-Rock from 'Southern Black Forest'

The debut album “Holy Ground” from 2022 received excellent reviews from the international and national trade press. This was the starting signal for Blue Deal’s success story to date.

This was followed by winning the “German Blues Challenge” in 2023.
In January 2024, the band reached the semi-finals of the “International Blues Challenge” in Memphis (USA).
Winning the “German Blues Award” – Best Album 2024 is the highlight so far.

After the internationally acclaimed second album “Can’t Kill Me Twice” (2024), the band made a clear artistic statement with their third studio album, “Make A Change” (2025). The album made a strong impact across Europe and is recognized by the international music press as the logical next step for a band that confidently blends blues tradition, rock attitude, and contemporary themes.

BLUE DEAL

Fresh, powerful and experienced

Tom Vela is currently considered one of the outstanding guitarists of Germany’s “New Blues Generation.”
The synergy with Jürgen Schneckenburger, Willi Macht, and veteran Joe Fischer (formerly of the Cadillac Blues Band) makes Blue Deal an innovative, cross-generational project.

BAND

 
JOE FISCHER
(leadvoc, keys, cigar box guitar):
The timbres and his own way of phrasing make Joe’s voice truly unique. Mastery of numerous instruments adds to the band’s eclectic sound. A Frontman with a wide range and charisma.
TOM VELA
(git, voc):
He breathed in the blues live on stage as a 6-year-old and caused a sensation… a “guitar prodigy” was realised. Influenced by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, he is now a sought-after guitarist and producer in the music scene.
JÜRGEN SCHNECKENBURGER
(drums):
The beating musical heart of the band. Creating groove from precision is the art he masters. He significantly shapes the sound of Blue Deal and enriches the musical output of the band with his wonderful feel for songwriting.
 
WILLI MACHT
(bass, voc):
“With groove in his blood and rhythm in his heart“ is the best way to describe Willi. His ability to support the harmonic foundation with his bass playing while creatively adding new accents makes him an indispensable part of the band. Together with Jürgen on drums, he provides the centerpiece that drives the groove and brings the music to life.
