Henrik Freischlader’s star continues to rise, only recently he could be seen trading licks with Mr Joe Bonamassa onstage. Layla Zoe has also increased her fan-base hugely in Europe in the last months since her excellent second CD on CableCar ‘The Lily’ hit the shops both physically and virtually (internet).
Anything less than an evening of BluesRock magic at the Harmonie would have been a disappointment then, so if you did have a disappointing Wednesday night then you must have been elsewhere – Layla and Henrik both clearly enjoy playing music too much not to give it their best.
Well finally- the inside of the Kunst!Palast! Not an oil painting in sight (or maybe it was too dark to see them). When the lights did come on though they alighted on a lady whose stage power could have driven the whole lighting rig. Beth Hart has recently played with high-flying guitar heroes like Slash and Jeff Beck, she’s even made entire CD’s with Mr Joe Bonamassa. Tonight she’s out to prove herself hotter than the weather – and boy does she prove it!
If you’re not Danish then you very probably don’t know the name Mike Andersen. I’m not, and I didn’t until I had the chance to give this disc a whirl in my CD player.
Their Facebook page describes them as ‘Vintage Chicago Blues from vintage musicians’ and the first part is certainly true – the second I disagree with (at least one band member was younger than me!)
