They were born in Naples in 1982 , from the initiative of the singer and drummer Mario "Blue Train" Insenga , already animator of a previous musical project, the Blue Box. The style of the band is inspired by the classic blues of the Chicago school; for the first few years the activity takes place almost exclusively live, with concerts throughout Italy. The recording debut takes place in 1990 with Chicago Bound , followed by a live record.

At the end of 1991 the collaboration with Joe Sarnataro was born , that is the alter ego blues of Edoardo Bennato , who was struck by the visceral compositional and executive energy of the group.

In 1992 the collaboration takes shape in the album È asciuto pazzo 'o padrone , soundtrack of the musical Joe and his grandfather, centered on the evils of Naples. The collaboration continues for the next two years, with tours that touch Switzerland, Austria and Germany , until the "pretend game" by Joe Sarnataro has no end.

Then the Blue Stuff continue on their way, always made of blues, which led them to publish in 1994 The water is little for Sony Music (in which in the homonymous song also sings Bennato), and in 1999 Roba blues for the Neapolitan label Cheyenne Records , which reprints some of their previous albums.

Since the early 2000s Mario Insenga and the Blue Stuff have been carrying out the Dr. Sunflower project, a jug band that offers traditional pre-blues and blues songs from the first half of the last century.

In 2007 they released their live CD recorded at the Liri Blues Festival together with a band of 12 organs (Piccola Orchestra la Viola), on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the twinning between Isola del Liri and New Orleans. The project, Homage to New Orleans, is an original reworking of the classic blues repertoire of Louisiana .

For Cheyenne Records they publish in 2008 ... Other people ... More blues ... and in 2011 Dr Sunflower's Krotal Oil Liniment .
