VIDA PASS is a trio from Malmoe, Sweden, who do blues and rock covers. Most of all we love to do songs written by guys like by Jagger/Richards, Willie Dixon and Jimmi Hendrix. We still have our own approach to the songs and always performed with alot of energy and a dirty attitude.
VIDA PASS performs music which is not pure rock nore pure blues but something inbetween. Sometimes we happened to blend it with a little funky rhythm or a jazzbeat. We simply call it Rhythm 'n' Blues...
Although we go as a trio, we usually perform with guests. Mostly with a piano player or a saxophone player but sometimes we perform with a larger groupe with a horn section and a choire. It all depends on our mode and the situation. Well, money that is...

The Vida Pass Rhythm 'n' Blues Band has been around for more than 25 years. A lot has happened during those years. Members has come and gone, someones lost forever but someones has always come back.
Today we are back to this original trio and the intensions to play Rhythm 'n' Blues has never been stronger.
