FRANK MUSCHALLE

Frank has been on tour for 30 years and is considered to be one of the most sought-after Blues & Boogie-Woogie pianists. He has played concerts all over Europe, Paraguay, Bolivia, the United States and North Africa. 14 CDs have been published so far with various musicians, e.g. Carey Bell, Jean-Pierre Bertrand, Nappy Brown, Jimmy Coe, Herb Hardesty, Red Holloway, Stephan Holstein, Bob Margolin, Jimmy McCracklin, Louisiana Red, Alex Schultz, Matthias Seuffert, Cary Smith, Bob Stroger, Hubert Sumlin, Engelbert Wrobel and Rusty Zinn.

In 2007 the trio was invited on a tour of Paraguay together with Axel Zwingenberger. Because of the great success the tour was repeated in 2008 and 2009 and not only took the musicians to Paraguay, but this time also to Bolivia. This was followed by concerts in North Africa, and in 2013 there was yet another invitation to perform in Paraguay. In April 2019 Frank was asked to play concerts in the United States (Chicago, Houston and Cincinnati) and Canada (Ottawa). These concerts were organised by the foreign office in cooperation with the local Goethe Institute. In September 2019 there was a further invitation from the Goethe Institute for a five-day concert tour to Atlanta/USA, and this year he is pleased to be joining us in Vancouver for one of this tour stops.
