Russian blues never stopped: 45 documented bands, and the 2020s carry the biggest crowd — 18 first appear there

Asked:

Find me a list of Russian blues bands which were playing in 90x-202x years

Web research turned up 72 candidate group names; 45 vetted Russian blues and blues-rock groups were retained for the decade overview, first documented 10 in the 1990s, 7 in the 2000s, 10 in the 2010s and 18 in the 2020s. Below, the full source-linked registry — 51 confirmed blues acts after merging aliases, plus 16 weaker festival-only leads — each drawn as its documented year span, 1990 through 2026.

Additional leads

Names found only in festival line-ups or without an explicit blues label — plausible but not confirmed as Russian blues groups.

Methodology and caveats

Earliest and latest documented years are the extremes found in the searched sources — festival programmes, club listings, press and band pages — not official formation or disbandment dates, and a single documented year does not mean the group played only that year. Obvious aliases were merged in presentation (Crossroads/Crossroadz, Blackmailers variants, Modern Blues Band with and without Giya Dzagnidze, So Rockin(g) Blues Band spellings). Decade counts for the headline come from a manually vetted set of 45 groups; the registry below lists all confirmed blues entries.

Data: web-research registry of Russian blues and blues-rock groups, 72 raw rows reduced to 67 after alias merges; 51 shown as confirmed, 16 as leads. Coverage 1990 – 2026, current through 2026-09-01. A row measures a group's earliest and latest year found in sources, city and style when stated, and its source count. Cut for space: individual source lists beyond one link per group.
