Rosen & Maass feat. Roger C. Wade

Stef Rosen, guitarist and vocalist from Italy, now based in Berlin, has recorded numerous albums, including his most recent, nominated for the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik. Stef is sublimely unique in his approach to music and has developed his own style that is a mixture of blues, bluegrass and jazz. Always charming and surprising, Stef is now one of the most impressive vocalists hereabouts and weaves constantly between blues, soul and gospel. Constantly touring through the capitals of Europe, Stef has become one of the most in-demand musicians on the European blues dance circuit and is further establishing his reputation in duo, trio and band formats. Watch out for this guy!

The last three decades have seen the English-born Roger C. Wade (harp/vocals) become one of the most respected figures in traditional blues on European stages. His acoustic and electric harp style and vocal delivery illustrate his love of the genre and respect of its traditions whilst always performing to the highest standard on any given night. Known for his stage presence and ability to deliver a crowd-pleasing show night after night, Roger's reputation has continued to spread. Roger has produced more than ten records, including the The Lockdown Sessions Volume I and II, which featured dozens of musicians from eight countries. Volume I has taken its place in the German Museum of History due to its historical significance.

Born and raised in East Berlin, Micha Maass has been a million miles on the road playing blues, boogie and all the rest during the last 30 years. He has performed, recorded and toured with a host of artists such as Mojo Buford (Muddy Waters band), Paul Orta, Gene Taylor, Little Willie Littlefield and many others! He is founder and artistic director of Blue Wave Festival and Blues Camp and four-times winner of the German Blues Award in the category Drums/ Percussion. Micha is endlessly creative in his approach to the genre—driving, swinging and fun! 

These three artists are forces in their own rights, but together they take the trio format to all new heights. Prepare to be both surprised and entertained!
