UK BLUES CHALLENGE FINALISTS 2023

The Terraplanes Blues Band were awarded the highly prestigious

"EMERGING BLUES ACT OF THE YEAR" at the UK Blues Awards 2023

Hailing from Bristol UK, with a sound echoing the 1960' s British R'n'B bands, The Terraplanes have been a breath of fresh air since their emergence on the UK Blues scene in 2020. The chemistry between the two founding members is the driving force of the band. Nick Scrase's authentic guitar/vocal tones and Eduardo Allen's hi energy harmonica skills and stage performance make for an electric live show. The band are ably supported by Andy Hutt (drums) and Craig Shaw (bass)

The band kicked off 2024 with a stand out performance at the UK Rhythm, rock & Blues festival at The Winter Gardens Pavilion in Blackpool, quickly followed with a blistering debut headline show at London's iconic 100 Club. Demand for The Terraplanes authentic sound has grown and now the band are focusing on new music with an ambition of recording another studio album. If anything the sound is more bluesy than their previous releases with the songs highly influenced by 60's British garage R&B. You can expect to hear a sprinkling of these new tracks at The Terraplanes live shows. 

The Terraplanes have put out two studio releases, Their debut E.P Midnight Train, released in May 2020 was a top 5 album in the IBBA UK blues chart.  The band's first full album Stepping Stones, released in March 2022 made the band a two time top 5 IBBA artist. The band then headed out on a tour around the country, winning at the UK Blues Awards and being selected to appear at The UK Blues Challenge at Marshall Studios, picked as one of Englands most exciting blues bands.

Formed in 2013 as a duo, Nick and Eduardo expanded to a full band in 2014. Their reputation as a formidable live act steadily grew. In 2020, under the wing of MAS records, a scheme with patrons like Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant, the band gained mentorship and guidance in helping them achieve their goals. The Terraplanes have been on the rise ever since.

Singer Nick Scrase - "We're so proud of what we've achieved so far as a band...there’s plenty more to come!”
