"Blues Escape is the result of a meeting between the versatile artist Johanna Lillvik and blues band Hill Blue Unit at Alingsås jazz club in Sweden in November 2016. It was the 1st time that Johanna sang blues and jazz in public, and the collaboration was only expected to last for one concert, but the chemistry, the music and the success was so obvious that it had to continue."

"The coolest Scandinavian boogie woogie jazz blues you will ever hear."

“Swedish singer Johanna Lillvik and blues band Hill Blue Unit together formed a new jazz and blues group called Blues Escape. On their 1st album, they respectfully pay tribute to 6 genre classics from mainly New Orleans based female artists. Herewith they have demonstrated that their common future lies in this type of music.“
