LADY I TRIO

The blues group „Lady I" was founded in 1995. The main star of the band was and still remains excellent singer and one of the very few female blues harp players Ivana „Erzika” Novotná (Lady I = Lady Ivana), in Czech known under the name "Erzika". Her fascinating performance gushes out straight from her heart and the nickname „Blues Lady” which has been given to her by the press and musical critics fits perfectly. Another important face was an excellent blues guitarist Milan Spacek. Excellent rhythm section was formed by the bassist Miroslav Vorlicek and the drummer Lubos Hnat. The music is a fresh mixture of contemporary blues and classic standards as well as band´s own original compositions (Miroslav Vorlicek – main band´s composer) – a healthy blend of blues, rock and jazz.
