musical biography
Music has been his great passion since the age of 14. As a guitar player, singer, and composer, the musician, who lives in Schuttertal, has been performing in a wide variety of ensembles ever since. He acquired his musical skills through intensive self-study as well as workshops and lessons with renowned guitarists such as Thomas Fellow, Stefan Bormann, and Jon Gomm. His voice was trained by the Canadian soprano Burnetta Day-Mould. He has taught at various music schools and currently gives guitar workshops on the topic of "percussive fingerstyle."
on stage
As a distinctive, accomplished musician and eloquent entertainer, Bodo captivates his audience. Passionate, virtuosic guitar playing, infectious enthusiasm, and a soulful voice: these elements give his songs a unique sound, his own. His guitar often sounds like a whole band: crisp grooves, percussive elements and solos.
In addition to his own compositions, you'll also hear selected songs by special artists… and almost every song has a story! The musical range that Bodo demonstrates here is extraordinary and impressive. Song-serving arrangements, sometimes airy and light, sometimes densely woven, are the icing on the cake of his energetic performance, testifying to pure creativity and joy of playing.
