Kiss the Sky is a Jimi Hendrix tribute fronted by Jimy Bleu, a Hendrix protégé mentored personally by Jimi. The act is uniquely credentialed: three original Hendrix bandmates have performed with Kiss the Sky over the years, making it as close to an authentic Hendrix concert experience as exists in the tribute world.
Jimi Hendrix is universally regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music: Rolling Stone’s #1 guitarist of all time, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1992), and a catalog (“Purple Haze,” “Voodoo Child,” “All Along the Watchtower,” “Foxy Lady,” “Hey Joe,” “Crosstown Traffic”) that defined psychedelic rock, blues rock, and electric-guitar virtuosity.
Jimy Bleu was mentored personally by Jimi Hendrix — a direct artist-camp credential almost no Hendrix tribute can claim. The personal relationship and guitar-technique mentorship gives Kiss the Sky’s lead guitar work an authenticity that goes beyond imitation.
Over the years, three of Jimi Hendrix’s actual original bandmates have performed onstage with Kiss the Sky — a credential that puts the act in the elite “actual original band member in the tribute” tier alongside The Ultimate McGraw (Tim McGraw’s actual drummer Billy “Thunder” Mason), Mad Dogs & The Englishman (Joe Cocker’s band), Tejano Queen Forever (Selena’s drummer), Child’s Anthem (Toto Hydra tour vocalist Keith Landry), and Ron Crites (George Jones’s touring band).
Jimi Hendrix passed away on September 18, 1970, at age 27. The only way to experience the Hendrix catalog performed live is through a credentialed tribute. Kiss the Sky’s combination of a direct Hendrix protégé as frontman and on-stage participation from original Hendrix bandmates is genuinely unmatched in the category.
Documented credentialing:
Jimy Bleu personally mentored by Jimi Hendrix — the most direct artist-camp connection in the Hendrix tribute category.

Kiss the Sky is fronted by Jimy Bleu, a Jimi Hendrix protégé personally mentored by Jimi. The personal connection to Hendrix is genuinely rare: Jimy’s guitar technique, stage presence, and approach to the Hendrix catalog come directly from the source, not from imitation.
The act’s most distinctive credential is the recurring on-stage participation of three original Hendrix bandmates who have performed with Kiss the Sky over the years. This puts the band in the elite “actual original band member in the tribute” tier across the TSE roster, alongside The Ultimate McGraw, Mad Dogs & The Englishman, Tejano Queen Forever, Child’s Anthem, and Ron Crites.
Kiss the Sky performs nationally at PACs, casinos, theaters, fairs, festivals, and summer concert series. The Hendrix catalog crosses generations from longtime classic-rock fans through guitar students and music educators who study Hendrix as foundational. The act’s authentic guitar work and direct Hendrix-camp lineage make it especially well-suited to music-festival programming and music-education audiences.
Jimi Hendrix tributes with a direct Hendrix-protégé frontman and recurring on-stage participation from original Hendrix bandmates are exceptionally rare. Kiss the Sky is the premier option in the category. TSE can also recommend other Hendrix, 1960s/70s psychedelic-rock, or blues-rock tribute options for buyers exploring alternatives.
