Grzegorz Kapołka Trio enchanted KATO Blues FACES
Friday the 13th turned out to be a lucky date for everyone who showed up at KATO Blues FACES that evening. On stage appeared the Grzegorz Kapołka Trio, a formation long regarded as one of the absolute top acts of the Polish blues scene. The audience experienced a concert that combined world-class musicianship, emotional sincerity, and musical finesse.
The band’s leader, Grzegorz Kapołka, once again proved why he has been considered one of the best guitarists in the country for years. His playing is a combination of elegance, technical freedom, and a distinctive Silesian authenticity. Every note sounded like a separate story, and together they formed a coherent, emotion-filled narrative that moved both connoisseurs and those who simply came to enjoy good music.
On drums was Alan Kapołka, impressing with his sense of timing and musicality. His playing was full of contrasts — from subtle, almost whispered phrases to dynamic, powerful accents. It was he who gave the concert its pulse, carrying the entire band and keeping the audience in constant suspense.
The trio was completed by Darek Ziółek, a bassist with an exceptional sense of space and groove. His bass lines were not only the foundation of the sound but also a full-fledged voice in the musical conversation. Solid, deep, and full of character — they perfectly tied everything together.
It was an encounter with music that can embrace, move, and energize. It filled the club space like a wave of warmth and light, leaving the audience with emotions that — as many emphasized — will stay with them for a long time.
KATO Blues FACES once again proved that it is a place where top-quality music finds the perfect conditions to fully resonate. And in their case, Friday the 13th turned out to be an exceptionally lucky date.
