Estonia's premier blues export Bullfrog Brown will be returning to London for a string of dates in April 2008. The band's scaled-down line-up for the UK shows will consist of Alar Kriisa on vocals and Andres Roots on guitar.

Kriisa and Roots established their musical partnership in 2000 and have been gigging as Bullfrog Brown since 2003, appearing at some of the biggest international blues and guitar festivals in Northern and Eastern Europe, such as the Lakeside Blues Festival (2006) and the Savonsolmu Beach & Blues Party (2007) in Finland, Augustibluus (2003-2007) and Fiesta De La Guitarra (2006) in Estonia, Blues Nights (2005) in Lithuania, and the WRA InterContinental Resophonic Guitar Festival (2005) in the Czech Republic. Their 2006 trip to Britain included shows in London, Glasgow, Kingston, Hartlepool, and Stockton.

In their native country, the band have opened for and - at the maestro's personal request - played with David "Honeyboy" Edwards, backed Zigaboo Modeliste's keyboard man Eddie Baytos on the road and on national television, and toured with Dave Arcari, Black River Bluesman, and Bottleneck John.

In March 2007, Bullfrog Brown became the highest ranking blues band in UBL.com's Ultimate Band Competition, placing 6th in a 2-year race with thousands of international pop, rock, and hip-hop artists; in April, the band won First Prize at the Blindman's Blues Forum showcase.

In 2006, a track from the band's "Uncooked" EP was featured as the only post-1971 and non-American recording in the History of Slide Guitar programme compiled by Radio Melibokus in Germany, and the EP itself nominated for the Deed of the Year award in the group's hometown of Tartu, Estonia.
