J for an evening of bluesy, and singer Volker Strifler creates music that starts with his strong blues roots and explores rock, jazz and Latin rhythms.Through his songwriting and playing he has created an exciting and unique sound that ranges from being at times jazzy and sophisticated to hard edged and raw, while never betraying his blues roots. Volker is one of those rare talents who can play an authentic T Bone Walker or rock like Stevie Ray Vaughan and always sound real.
Growing up in his native Germany, Volker learned to play and appreciate the blues idiom by listening to hard to find American blues records. Wanting to experience the blues on a more personal level he made the move to the US where he could more readily see and study the blues creators as well as the modern blues inovators. To Volker it was all good.
