I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

  The Planetary Blues Band consists of the trio of brothers Martin Schaefer-Murray (guitar and lead vocals) Bobby Schaefer-Murray (bass) and Michael Schaefer-Murray (guitar), with their longtime friend Nick Evans on drums. The band is based in Valparaiso, IN and has been paying dues in Midwest bars and at local festivals for over fifteen years. They've shared the stage with some of their biggest influences, such as Son Seals and Buddy Guy, including opening up for Buddy Guy at his own club, Legends. The PBB is influenced by a wide range of musical styles. Like most rock bands worth their salt, Planetary got their start playing, and being influenced by, the Blues. The band was born in 1999 in “Mom’s basement”, where countless hours were spent learning entire albums by Chicago Blues greats like Buddy Guy and Son Seals. Over the course of the past fifteen-plus years, Planetary has held onto those roots, while expanding outward into various other corners of the musical universe. The Planetary Blues Band recorded and produced their most recent album, Once Upon A Time In The South Loop, all “in-house” (engineered by Michael S-M), and it received stellar reviews both nationally and internationally.
