About
“Blues Rock Generations” was formed spontaneously, in early 2021 with acoustic playing of old songs by two boys who are classmates and studying acoustic guitars at a local music school. Both of them have the same taste for "good old things". Their names are Jakub Adamec and Samo Kolník and they live in Piestany, Slovakia. Jakub's grandfather Stefan Adamec remembered many songs from the late 60's, when he played with his own band and joined their rehearsals with acoustic guitar and vocals. To the growing play list, grandfather added his own compositions based on the poems of the long-time family friend Alex Gustafik, which were arranged by Jakub on solo guitar and Samo on electronic drums. Thus, in addition to own songs, the group's repertoire includes a return to the basics of modern rock and roll and even further into the past to blues songs from the 20s and 30s. The band represents a bridging of generations from grandson to grandfather and at the same time a crossing of generations of musical genres with a return to blues and rock. That's why it's called "Blues Rock Generations." The band played its first official concert on August 12, 2021 at the “La Musica” music garden café restaurant in Piestany.

He got his first guitarlele Yamaha at Christmas, when he was only two years old. He played naturally on all the instruments that came into his hands naturally from an early age. However, the guitar is a priority from the beginning. He has been studying classical guitar since he was 5 years old. He gradually focused on playing electric guitars and therefor is a solo guitarist in the band. He attends the primary school in Piestany and, in addition to music, is interested in the history and techniques associated with the development of guitars and effects.
