Here, no old men whine their runaway wives after. The Kai Strauss band can sit up with their own, fresh mix musical staple. "Soulful roots music & Blues greasy" calls his style, for which artists such as Buddy Guy, Ben Harper and the were meters Godfather the Quartet - this is curious.
Scott Duncan in Blues In Britain Kai Strauss is simply a great guitarist, whose playing is on a level with contemporary Americans, Writes about the expressive Pentatoniker, while the journal Gitarre & bass him referred to as one of the exception-guitarist of the German blues scene , the fantastic and energetically to the thing goes.
After over 15 years, five CD releases and countless performances throughout Europe with the one he founded band memo Gonzalez & the Bluescasters, Kai proposes to 2011 a new chapter: it is simply time for something fresh, new influences and the possibility of my musical ideas quite Express.
He fills his role as bandleader with spontaneity and appreciable enthusiasm. Kai Strauss a unforgettable Bluesnight brought guitar fans. It was just fun, watch this guitarist and listening to, writes the Westfälische Anzeiger and the Lippe country newspaper thinks Kai Strauss is a bundle of energy with tremendous presence which elicits the stories to his Board that writes life.
In recent years, internationally renowned guitarist has conquered a place in the heart of the Blues community, and now brings a band on the stage that it has in itself with only three other musicians.
Outstanding and himself is a renowned musician with impressive Vita organist Wolfgang Roggenkamp, original B-3 in addition with his taking the part of bassist. As a Hammond player you are many features of a band in personal Union... so, it expresses the ex Berlin itself. The multi-instrumentalist with temporary residence in Boston/United States and dortigem scholarship at Berklee College of Music was on tour with Ben Becker ´s zero tolerance band and played with Luther Allison, Peter O' Mara, Prince Robinson, as well as a nearly endless array of international blues and jazz greats.
The man on drums is born in the same year, in which Strauss finally exchanges his school bag against the guitar case. Alex Lex is the only blues-crazed drummer which I know who to Motörhead concerts and booms on Chad Smith from the chili peppers! He is the best evidence that roots music is cool. Regular Auftrite with Keith Dunn band and as well as recordings with Blues legends like Aron Burton and Billy Boy Arnold confirm its excellent reputation.
A real new discovery is the only 26 singer Jeffrey Amankwa from Wuppertal. Began his career freely along the lines of many artists-biographies in the church choir, before he discovered a passion for Blues and R & B as a teenager his and moved through the big city as a street musician. Today, Amankwa is a more self-confident musicians - away from the well-worn clichés, so the Westphalian news write about the singer, in which the European and African culture unite. The combination of his soul-soaked, expressive voice, with a good portion of youthful recklessness makes these young wild the first choice for the position on the MIC.
