Peter Samek LP Presentation

For over 45 years, Samek has been on stage, an unwavering blues aficionado with releases on Wolf Records. With his "black" voice, harmonica, and slide guitar, he sounds as if he came straight from Chicago, but his heart beats for the Mississippi of the 1930s – for Son House, Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and Louisiana Red. With his new solo LP, he reduces himself to the essentials: voice, harp, slide, and washboard. The evening is enriched by Alfred Silldorff on bass and Wolfgang Leinweber on washboard. A very special guest is the German Blues Award winner Henning Pertiet. The Hamburg pianist, awarded as the best German blues pianist in 2017, represents powerful boogie-woogie and authentic blues in the tradition of Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons, and Meade "Lux" Lewis – yet with his own signature.
