Jan Fic - industrial blues

In 2011, he founded the blues group The Weathermakers, with which he went from covered songs to his own work. He was also the bandleader of the recessive tramp group The Honzíci - with both of them he advanced to the national Porta circuit. In 2018, as a singer-songwriter, he took part in the international Blues Aperitiv competition in Šumperk, where he won the first prize, advancing to the main stage of the autumn Blues Alive festival. At the end of 2018, he released his solo album Město in collaboration with producer Martin Kyšperský. In 2020, he became the recipient of the award "For the beauty of the word", which is awarded every year by Radio Proglas. In September 2020, he released his second album, again in collaboration with Martin Kyšperský and the whole band. He gradually began to return to playing solo and ended his playing with the band by participating in the Colors of Ostrava festival. In April 2023, Jan released his third solo album, Homunculus, where he returns to his raw blues roots. In addition to music, he manufactures guitars and other musical instruments under the Red Bird Instruments brand.
