Notes: Andreas Kilger born 1965, Andreas has been playing the guitar since the age of 14. His love for blues and other forms of so called "root music" began when he heard the music of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, as well as Big Bill Broonzy and Tommy Johnson. Later, he discovered Lonnie Johnson, Charlie Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Robert Johnson and many other greats, too many to list here.
Andreas performing career began in 1981 when he teamed numerous bands as both guitar player and singer. Together with bass player Alexander Sax, he formed "LOWDOWN", acoustic group which released two CDs.
In the year 1994 Andreas met Louisiana Red. The two hit it off immediately, and were soon sitting in at many other gigs, each finding a special chemistry that they rarely experienced with others.
Andreas played or jammed with other well known artists including Paul Geremia, Roger Hubbard, King George, among others.
Nowdays he mostly performs with drummer Rochus Wede in an electric downhome-style, or with his own band LOWDOWN, acoustic Country-Blues with original instruments of the twenties and thirties.
Andreas Kilger plays with LOWDOWN blues of the `20s and `30s . Beside traditional titles, own compositions and own arrangements of the originals are located in the program of the band.
At Kilgers side, Karl Schlagenhaufer at the Slideguitar and Rochus Wede at the washboard. Further gladly-seen guests are the Harmonicaplayer Marko Jovanovic, Didi Neumann or Peter Krause, which forms a quartet occasionally.
Completely in the tradition of the former Jug - and Washboardbands, they play relaxed Rags, Dance-Tunes, Hokum-Songs, dance-songs of the `20s , but also Country blues, stamping archaic Grooves to ballads, swing and Kilgers own compositions. The palette is full from the Ragtime, over which classic delta blues and instrumentals to different Slideguitar-Technics in miscellaneous moods and the syncopated Picking of the Piedmont-Fingerstyles.
On these occasions, the roots and the possibilities of the acoustic blues-guitar become clear. Andreas Kilger uses the characteristic style of the prewar musicians, his own play creates wonderful rythems and melodies simultaneously. Whether he sings Blind Boy Fuller or Big Bill Broonzy , it always has a distinitive Andreas flavor.
