A small, sleepy town in an American backwater. The local bar spews smoke from every porous crack in its facade – the heat hits you in the face, you take refuge in the bar on the corner and fall into a nighttime vortex – the figures seem apathetic, times distant. On stage sits "Sir" Oliver Mally, playing the blues that no one suspects, but everyone seeks. "Sir" Oliver Mally is without question one of the representatives of "Europe's best blues" (Concerto). His raw, convention-free music is a pure extract of the blues' essence. Inhaling it is like absinthe for life.
Hubert Hofherr, born in Lower Bavaria, discovered his love for Chicago blues at a very early age. Alongside his music studies, he played in his first bands at an early age and released several recordings. After emigrating to the USA, he quickly began touring the country with well-known blues musicians such as Buster Benton, JW Williams and Merle Perkins, where he founded his own band before returning to Germany. Hubert Hofherr tours both at home and abroad with his band "Hubert Hofherr & The Bottom Line", which he founded in 1996, as well as with "The Ramblers", Albert C. Humphrey and the Roots of Blues, the Ron Evans Group, the Hamburg blues singer and guitarist Abi Wallenstein, the Electric Blues Duo (Colin Hodgkinson and Frank Diez) and Mano Maniak. And finally, four years ago, the two met "live".
A vibrant program consisting primarily of original compositions, peppered with exquisite covers, is presented. Goosebumps are guaranteed with some of the songs with a blue note.
