Blind Boy Spectacles

Blind Boy Spectacles is a stage name of Matej Krajnc (Matt Kaye) [5] for his gospel and blues work. He records under that name for the indie label Slušaj najglasnije!.

Kaye came up with the name of Blind Boy Spectacles out of respect for old blues and gospel singers. He first used the name in 2006 for the recording of the Country Gospel album because of the possible confusion with his other work as a singer-songwriter, writer, critic and translator. After joining the Slušaj najglasnije! label in 2010, he decided to continue his more gospel and blues oriented work in English under that name. His gospel opus is among the most notable works in the field of the modern European gospel and blues history, especially in the ex-Yugoslav countries, based on the reviews of a renowned Croatian music portal Terapija.net.
