THE TERRAPLANES BLUES BAND
“Hard hitting, stomping, in your face rhythm & blues! The Terraplanes have a real swagger…a natural chemistry and feel for the blues genre”
– Colin Campbell, Blues Matters Magazine
Hailing from Bristol, UK, The Terraplanes are an authentic Rhythm & Blues Band, with a sound echoing the 1960's British R'n'B invasion with a heavy dose of Delta Country Blues. With two great singles already released this year, 2025 looks to be another busy year with a hectic gig schedule and new music being recorded.
The Terraplanes formed in 2013 when singer Nick Scrase met Eduardo Allen in Bristol, the relationship between the two founding members is the driving force of the band.
Scrase' authentic vocal tones and slick guitar plus the harmonica skills and hi energy stage perfomances from Eduardo Allen make for an electric live show. They are ably supported by the rhythm section of Andy Hutt (drums) & Craig Shaw (Bass).
The Terraplanes have been a breath of fresh air on the British blues scene since the release of their debut E.P Midnight Train in 2020 and their first full studio album Stepping Stones in 2022,
In 2023 The Terraplanes were nominated for Emerging Act Of The Year at The UK Blues Awards
An award they eventually won which was a hugely proud moment for an independent band with no label or management.
The band then appeared at The UK Blues Challenge, selected as one of five of the best UK blues bands.
These achievements allowed the band to appear at some of the UK's premier blues clubs and festivals including Upton Blues Festival, Callander Jazz & Blues Festival, Scotland and an incredible headline show at London's iconic 100 club.
Having released a live album in November 2024 which hit #4 in the UK IBBA Blues Chart. This made the band a 3 time top 5 UK IBBA artist which is a great achievement for an independent band.
The Terraplanes are now busy writing songs for a new album, the band are very excited to get out on the road to try out this fantastic new material on some blues loving festival crowds.
