DESCRIPTION

Krakow Street Band is a formation which is becoming the city's new musical highlight for visitors from Poland and abroad. Nine professional musicians, each members of many different bands and projects, gather on sunny days to perform on Cracow's main square. Their performances burst with positive energy, and everyone can see that their main motivation is the joy of playing together, while the coins falling into the guitar case are only a nice addition.

The band has rushed into popularity across the whole country. First, the succesful crowdfunding campaign for their debut album, finished with 170% of the planned amount. Then, the band got to the finals of Must Be The Music, a talent show with millions of viewers, with excellent opinions from the jury in all stages. Finally, Kraków Street Band represented Poland in Haizetara, one of the biggest street music festivals in the whole world, organised in the Basque country.

KRAKÓW STREET BAND's debut album proves that vibrant, living music still stands a chance in the demanding music industry. The CD consists mainly of songs chosen by the band members, known from their street and club performances, complemented by two original pieces.
