12 Aug 10  The new CD "LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE" will be available soon.

The sixteen tracks, two of which feature Bert Deivert on mandolin, have been recorded and mixed in Regensburg/Germany between April and July 2010.  It is music straight from the heart played mostly on vintage American guitars.

12 July 08: Bayer. Jazzweekend Regensburg. The gig was at the Goldenes Fass and the place was packed. Inspite of initial problems with the PA system it turned out to be another concert highlight.

10 Jan 2008  Andreasstadl (Regensburg/Stadtamhof). Nothing sounds like a good 12-string.


26/28 October 2007:  Willie Salomon played the Kanapee in Hannover. This venue is usually known for high quality classical concerts.  Erwin Schütterle took the risk to invite Willie Salomon, who represents a totally different musical genre.  It was a huge success and the place was packed on both nights.  Erwin's  Fazzioli Grand Piano was a very special treat.

The "9. Bluesnacht Leingarten" on13 Oct 07 was a huge success and all the participating musicians had a wonderful time. The highlight of the festival was, of course, the legendary Little Willie Littlefield. Many thanks to Ignaz Netzer for the perfect organization of that great event.
