Blues Weiser Campfire Experience (started 26-07-2014)

We started an acoustic format started in July 2014, after the drummer of the band left. 

While looking for a new drummer, we (Jozz and Bobysan) needed to keep performing live, and who doesn't want to earn an extra buck.

We started writing new songs and learning some covers, that we ofcourse gave our personal touch to (no, not the covers that all these coverbands play like "smoke on the water or high way to hell...)

The idea was to create a "campfire experience" where people would enjoy the music, but with a campfire family like feeling.

Soon we were invited to private parties and started playing in gardens, living rooms, terraces etc.

For those of you who don't know, Jozz and Bobysan have been playing together for over 7 years, in Floodstain so they could understand each other completely while playing. Therefor we were able to create a different atmosphere at every show.

After Alex joined Blues Weiser he was able to add the Cajon to the music. A perfect instrument to provide a solid rhythm aswell as a Latin touch.

The Blues Weiser Campfire Experience has grown into a band that is really active, and when Blues Weiser goes on tour we can offer both an electric and an acoustic gig, which of course makes it easier to fill empty dates.

UPDATE 2024:

To listen to the purest form of Blues Weiser, they released an Unplugged live album on September 12, 2023, check it out on bandcamp via this link: Unplugged Live @ Bar Central 2023

The Band (2016)

Blues Weiser started as a power trio back in 2014, at this time it was Jozz, Bobysan and Senen.



We wrote 7 songs but only got to record 2 songs, "Knuckle Duster" and Tie Breaker" that appeared on our first single, BLUES WEISER 2015.
You can listen and order on our bandcamp:

When Senen left we looked for a new drummer and we contacted Alex, who we saw previously with another band. Bobysan already jammed with Alex 6 years earlier but lost contact over the years.

We decided to start from scratch again and start writing new songs with Alex. The vibe was great and soon we started recording our new album. This time we decided to do everything ourselves and not to go to a studio.


We used a ZOOMR24 and invested in relevant equipment that was necessary to complete the recordings at the end of 2015.

After finishing the recordings Jozz locked himself up in his home studio for the next couple of months. 

Fully devoted himself to the mixing and mastering process of the record.

Every so many days the band would meet up and listen to the results, make some small changes and add backing vocals where needed.

This resulted into the first full length album called "Booze for Blues"

Booze for Blues contains 7 new songs + the 2 songs that were recorded with Senen and was released on May 23rd 2016.


Check out our new album on our Bandcamp:

The first (Limited - RED EDITION) 120 Albums where sold within 3 months!


At the end of July 2016 we started the Blues Weiser Campfire Experience. This is a complete acoustic set, where we play at private parties and small bars. 

To add more depth to the acoustic sound we felt like we needed a 2nd guitarist...

Out of the blue, we received a phone call from "Lee" whom we met a year ago. Lee was looking for a new musical opportunity. 

We offered him to come down for a chat, quickly followed by a rehearsal to see if there was a good flow. 

After a couple of rehearsals we decided to include him in the main band as well. 

So, now the band is:

Jozz Fernandez - Guitar & Vocals
Bobysan - Bass & Backing vocals
Alex Sala - Drums
Lee Cleevely - Guitar & Backing Vocals
