The Planetary Blues Band is made up of brothers Martin Schaefer-Murray, Bobby Schaefer-Murray, and Michael Schaefer-Murray. The Schaefer-Murray brothers have been playing music since their early teens. The Planetary Blues Band got their start playing, and being influenced by, the Blues. Chicago Blues in particular. The band was born in 1999 in their mother's basement, where they spent countless hours learning entire albums by Chicago Blues greats like Magic Sam, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and Son Seals. Through the years, Planetary Blues has held onto those roots while expanding outward into various other corners of the musical universe. Since 1999, The Schaefer-Murray brothers have played hundreds of shows in the Chicagoland area and beyond. They have had the honor to open up for such Blues greats as Buddy Guy, Bobby Rush, Son Seals, The Kinsey Report, Lil Ed & The Blues Imperials, and more.
