The history of this group started from … a blues. Yes, just from a blues with its slow rhymes, bitter - sweet smack of freedom, grief and life, running away afar. Up to a pain melodious, not trivial music which expresses first of all feelings, emotions, desires and delicately passing soul state of the performer. Blues make people to long, again and again experiencing coming remembrances but when it becomes intolerable sadly, guitars, resisting to melancholy, pass themselves into rock-and-roll. And this infernal mix of blues, rock-and-roll, guitar solo and the weighted hard rhythm-and-blues has formed a basis for appearance of Russian-speaking blues command "Madera Hard Blues ".

Music is a style of life, a mentality, a soul state for "Madera Hard Blues ".. If the soul loves- the song about love springs up, if the soul grieves - about grief, if hates - about hatred. Dream-song, hope-song, irony-song... Each song is mood, the feelings, the experiences, it is a slice of lived life.
"Madera Hard Blues " does not get tired to experiment, being in constant creative search of more perfect sound. Just for this reason the acoustic program where everything presented without all sorts of electric novations, arrangements, special effects has appeared in repertoire and a powerful sound where music sounds more limpid and its essence comes to light.

But in songs and in instrumental music inevitably there is one, the most important for "Madera" - guitar, alive sound and full efficiency, all to do pleasure for people.

"Madera Hard Blues " is an embodiment of soul and vital energy of four creative personalities: Mikhailov Jury, Sergey Agarok, Dostanko Andrey and Samokhvalov Vitaly.
Mikhailov Jury is the leader of the group, words and music creator, who sets the mood to all command.

There is only one True Love in his life … guitar. And he gives her all his might, shares his experiences, devotes her the most secret ideas.

Sergey Agarok - vocalist, guitarist. He is blues and rock-and roll, sensual and rigid, pathetic with a bit hoarseness voice of the command. A voice calling to hear what the soul sings about.
Andrey Dostanko - bass - guitarist , he was the last one who came in the group, but believes in improbable coincidence of circumstances which has connected him with the command.
Vitaly Samokhvalov - percussion instruments, a rhythm of the command. Ready interminably beat a rhythm, passing mood and spirit of all command; and drum-type sticks in his hands become magic, creating a special atmosphere of blues and rock-and-roll.

"Madera Hard Blues " is a mad internal force and power, spirit and desire to bring and frankly to share with all-consuming pleasure, luxury, speed, to open the world terrible on the force and depth of love or grief and having forgotten about everything, except music, to be dissolved in Eternity.
