About...The Planetary Blues Band
Michael Schaefer-Murray: guitar and vocals
Martin Schaefer-Murray: guitar and vocals
Bobby Schaefer-Murray: bass guitar
Nick Evans: drums
The Planetary Blues Band consists of the trio of
brothers Martin Schaefer-Murray (guitar and lead vocals) Bobby
Schaefer-Murray (bass) and Michael Schaefer-Murray (guitar), with their
longtime friend Nick Evans on drums. The band is based in Valparaiso, IN
and has been paying dues in Midwest bars and at local festivals for over
fifteen years. They've shared the stage with some of their biggest
influences, such as Son Seals and Buddy Guy, including opening up for
Buddy Guy at his own club, Legends. The PBB is influenced by a wide range
of musical styles. Like most rock bands worth their salt, Planetary got
their start playing, and being influenced by, the Blues. The band was
born in 1999 in “Mom’s basement”, where countless hours were spent
learning entire albums by Chicago Blues greats like Buddy Guy and Son
Seals. Over the course of the past fifteen-plus years, Planetary has held
onto those roots, while expanding outward into various other corners of
the musical universe. The Planetary Blues Band recorded and produced
their most recent album, Once Upon A Time In The South Loop, all
“in-house” (engineered by Michael S-M), and it received stellar reviews
both nationally and internationally.
