Lockdown Sessions Volume 2. Who would have thought it? Two years after the release of the now legendary 'Lockdown Sessions, Vol. 1,' they are at it again. Two years of battling the effects of the Corona crisis have forced many musicians to hustle, including blues musicians: Many live music venues have closed, and many others are fighting to make ends meets leading to musicians having to go to extraordinary lengths to keep afloat. We have seen endless streams, 'live' performances from living rooms and even concerts in front of honking cars. When it seemed like the pandemic was over, or at least moving in that direction, some things opened up and life moved outdoors for the most part. That brief lull was relatively short-lived and we went back into a lockdown, or something that was essentially that from the musicians' perspective.

'Lockdown Sessions, Vol. 1' came about as a consequence of the musicians' drive to create. Volume I was a huge success throughout Europe and sold well on both sides of the pond. Award-winning, it even ended up in the Museum of German History in Bonn, Germany, due to its historical significance.
