Many well known magazines, have hosted some very positive critiques and comments on their music. Some of them are: ELMORE , BLUESWAX , BLUES BYTES , BLUES ART STUDIO , ROOTSTIME , LA HORA DEL BLUES , CONCERTO , DIFONO and JAZZ & ΤΖΑΖ ...
THE SOUND
S.B.T. mix their vintage sound with their own passion… for the blues music borrowing styles from other musical genres as well. Their music reaches people who truly understand the need for expressing human emotions. Love, pain, abandonment, poverty, deprivation, betrayal, anger and sorrow constitute the basic elements of the blues music and the band successfully reconstructs them by blending them with the timeless “Crossroads” blues images.
