Debrecen – Bill Kapitány was supposed to perform at the Nagyerdei Water Tower at the end of August, but unfortunately, due to illness, this could not happen. However, blues fans will only have to wait a little longer, because the concert at Lovarda will be replaced on October 14.
“He’s the blackest-voiced white singer I’ve ever heard” – Chuck Berry, May 1984
The Hungarian blues king doesn’t really need an introduction, because since 1978 he has been an unavoidable figure in Hungarian popular music. In the first years of his career, he was “only” a regular guest at the Hobo Blues Band’s concerts, but from the summer of 1979 he became an official member. Their first single, Rolling Stones Blues, was released in 1980, followed by their first LP, Central European Hobo Blues. Although the success of the formation led by Hobo was unbroken, he still chose a solo career, which is how his debut solo album Rossz vér was released in 1984. In 1985, he joined the Kormorán band for a couple of years, but in the meantime, his own material also arrived. Although he participated again in the early 2000s9 on a Hobo Blues Band LP, he has been following his own path for decades.
His musical career has appeared several times in films and theaters, starting with 1981’s Kopaszkutya and ending with 1998’s Zúgjatok harangos! – until the theater play 1848.
This year – after several previous awards – he was awarded the Officer’s Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit for his performing arts activities. He returns to Debrecen after three years.
Finally, here’s a quote from the Captain himself: “The blues is a way of life, a feeling of life – it grabs you and doesn’t let you go.”. The audience will surely feel the same after his comeback concert in Debrecen.
