Frank Muschalle (Berlin) has been touring for over 25 years and is now one of the most sought-after boogie woogie pianists worldwide.
He has played over 2000 concerts throughout Europe, Paraguay, Bolivia, the USA, and North Africa. Born in 1969, after 11 years of classical piano lessons, he discovered boogie-woogie at the age of 19. From then on, he devoted himself exclusively to studying this music. On tours and recordings, he has performed with musicians such as Red Holloway, Louisiana Red, Carry Smith, Axel Zwingenberger, Vince Weber, Bob Margolin, Carey Bell, Alex Schultz, Engelbert Wrobel, Stephan Holstein, Matthias Seuffert, and many others.
In April 2019, Frank received an invitation to perform in the USA (Chicago, Houston, and Cincinnati) and Canada (Ottawa). This tour was organized by the respective foreign missions in cooperation with the local Goethe Institute. In September of the same year, the Goethe Institute again invited him to a five-day concert tour in Atlanta, USA.
Swinging blues and boogie-woogie, rolling basses, a trilling treble, and a pulsating rhythm, sometimes crisp, sometimes gentle, and always swinging, that's what Frank Muschalle stands for. This evening, you'll hear both his own compositions and interpretations of classics of the genre, such as "Boogie Woogie Stomp," "Sheik Of Araby," and "Just For You."
