About / Biography

DON’T FORGET THE BLUES (D.F.T.B.) — Acoustic Blues with a Pulse

Forget the smoky clichés and the slow blues! D.F.T.B. brings acoustic blues to life with infectious grooves, driving rhythms and a healthy dose of attitude.

Featuring guitar, harmonica and cajón, we deliver a raw, lively and original take on the blues. From deep-rooted blues classics to fiery, groove-driven performances, our music is made to get feet tapping, heads nodding and audiences moving.

Intimate enough for a bar, energetic enough for a party, D.F.T.B. is a great fit for bars, clubs, festivals, private parties and special events.

We love the blues, but we don’t believe it always has to be sad. Sometimes, you just have to turn it up and let it roll!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

For us, the best gigs are the ones where the audience becomes part of the show — people dancing, singing along and sharing the energy with us. We love the atmosphere of lively bars, outdoor terraces and festivals, where the music brings everyone together.

Zadar, with its vibrant summer evenings and outdoor venues, is a great place for this kind of live music. For us, a great venue isn't necessarily the biggest or the most famous one — it's the place where the groove catches on and nobody wants the music to stop!

We've played in most of the bars in Zadar and the surrounding area, building a strong connection with local audiences over the years. Some of our favourite gigs have been on busy summer nights, playing outdoors on terraces with people dancing, singing along and bringing the whole place to life.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love playing in bars, pubs and festivals, where our energetic acoustic blues really comes alive. We also enjoy private parties, outdoor events and any occasion where live music brings people together and gets them moving!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We are all experienced professional musicians with many years in the music industry. Over the years, we have played in a variety of venues and settings, developing a strong live performance experience. D.F.T.B. brings our individual backgrounds together in a shared love of acoustic blues, infectious grooves and energetic live music.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Our biggest influences range from blues legends like B.B. King, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson to rock icons such as Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Chuck Berry. We also love artists who know how to bring a groove, a great melody and a bit of attitude to a song.

Our musical world is a mix of blues, rock’n’roll, soul and timeless classics — from the crossroads of the Delta blues to the dance floor.

Choosing one favourite artist or the greatest song of all time is almost impossible. But if we had to pick one song that captures the spirit of our band, it would be “Johnny B. Goode” by Chuck Berry: pure energy, a killer groove and rock’n’roll at its best!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup time: approximately 20 minutes.

Performance time: 3 hours in total, consisting of three 50-minute sets with two 10-minute breaks between sets.

We are flexible and can adapt the schedule to suit the event's requirements.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, we are happy to perform outdoors, provided we are protected from rain and have adequate shade in very hot, direct sunlight.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We usually perform from our established repertoire, but we're happy to consider special song requests if we receive them well in advance. Additional songs can be discussed and agreed on a case-by-case basis.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients often describe our performances as a great mix of excellent musicianship, a fantastic choice of songs and an incredible live atmosphere. We bring energy, spontaneity and a genuine connection with the audience, turning a good night into a memorable one. Great music, good vibes and plenty of reasons to dance!
