About Me:
Charismatic, innovative and always compellingly authentic - with this unusual trio featuring his long-time musical partner Steve Baker on harmonica and Martin Röttger on cajon, Abi Wallenstein has created one of the most exciting acts on today's European Roots Music scene.
Abi Wallenstein & Blues Culture present a unique stylistic fusion which integrates deep delta blues with funk and hip-hop beats and rough-cut rock with heart-rending ballads. The dynamic interplay between the three musicians is unpredictable and gripping. Their spontaneity and energy create a fascinating blend of diverse musical elements which defies definition and breaks the boundaries of conventional stylistic clichés. Forget about categories - this highly infectious mix is something for fans of good hand-made music everywhere!
Abi and Steve had known each other for almost 15 years when they decided to start working together as a duo in 1990. Their unique combination of energy, virtuosity and conviction has since made them one of the most exciting acts in this genre performing today - two leading European blues musicians who together put out a pulsating energy which no audience can ignore.
In January 2002 Abi and Steve invited Martin Röttger to perform with them on their annual Blues Celebration concert in Hamburg's legendary Fabrik. The combination surpassed all expectations and Blues Culture was born. Martin's grooving beats lend a whole new dimension to Wallenstein and Baker's exciting duo performances.
As a trio, the sound is even more immediate and gripping, the grooves are more danceable and the interplay between all three is so tight that the listener can't help but feel they've been playing together for years. Without any doubt this is a complete and highly unusual band which is redefining the boundaries of the genre.
