The siblings &#8212; Buddy on guitar, Bruce on bass, and both on vocals &#8212; cut their teeth in A-Train, an outfit popular among Louisiana and Texas club patrons throughout its ten-year existence; immediately after the group&#8217;s dissolution, the Fletts reunited as the Bluebirds, originally a Tuesday night jam band which became a far more serious concern with the 1995 release of their debut LP Swamp Stomp. South from Memphis\u00a0followed a year later.<\/p>\n<p>The Bluebirds is a band that plays: high energy, fun-filled fusion of Louisiana rock \u00b4n roll, good old fashioned blues and rockabilly, sprinkled with a bit of tex &#8211; mex and garnished with soul. The Bluebirds genuine musical mix has taken the band all over the world: Australia, USA, Europe and the Nordic countries.<\/p>\n<p>The band is now almost back to the original setting, since the start in 1989. Or as Michelle for the Live Magazine (U.S.A) has written:\u201cThe irony of having a band from Sweden play American blues music better than nearly any group I had ever heard before was not lost on me\u201d. Blues association of Queensland, Australia says:\u201cHave you been waiting \u00b4round for another band like The Fabulous Thunderbirds to come along? Well, your wait is over, the Bluebirds have arrived&#8221;, and they are ready to rock the house!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bluebirds.se\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.bluebirds.se<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BIO Blues-rockers the Bluebirds consisted primarily of brothers\u00a0Buddy and Bruce Flett, Louisiana natives who formed the group in their hometown of Shreveport in 1987.
