BOOGIELICIOUS

Eeco Rijken Rapp (NL) : Studied classic piano for over ten years. Eeco is fascinated by the music of the 30s' and 40s' boogie trio Ammons, Lewis and Johnson. Particularly Albert Ammons is his hero and he performs many of the latter's great compositions. He also has recorded many of these tunes. Due to his communicative competence, he started to broadcast his music through YouTube very early, created his own channel and releases videos and lessons regularly. With more than 3 million clicks, he is probably the best known boogie pianist on the web. Performed at many jazz and boogie woogie occasions all over Europe, such as festivals in France, UK Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Portugal, Switzerland and Holland. David Herzel : He is certainly one of the most astonishing drummers of our time with a mind boggling concept of time, creativity and speed. David is a professional drummer for more than 20 years, a lot of people will know him from "The Original Contemporaries". Betram Becher: Bertram Becher played the keyboards in many different bands since he was 15 - ranging from "Beatles" to Rock. At the age of 24 he found the harmonica and it grew to be his first instrument. Since then Blues and Boogie were his first choice. He wrote the "Interactive Blues Harp Workshop" (CD Rom, Voggenreiter) together with world-class harmonica player Steve Baker in 1998. Bertram had the chance to make his hobby his profession in 2006, when he joined the C.A. SEYDEL SÖHNE harmonica factory (www.seydel1847.com) as their product manager, player and consultant. He never wanted to copy any famous player but developed his personal style of playing Blues harmonica. "Boogielicious" is his first trio, forcing him to be very conscious while playing harp - with "Kicking up dust", Bertram continues also playing the piano in a Blues-band (www.kicking-up-dust.de).
