"95 Blues Berry Way" is a Russian-American rock band created in 2000 by a group of musicians who live along the road I-95 connecting Washington, DC and New York, NY. We strive to write and perform songs with nice music and meaningful lyrics. We sing mainly in Russian, but are no strangers to songs in English and other languages. Our style can be defined as melodic rock music. Even though we present ourselves as a rock group, we experiment with various music styles, rock-related and not. Our repertoire includes ballads, blues, rock-n-rolls, bossa novas, as well as some jazz, folk, and country pieces.
