Two young wildlings and an old blues bard collaborate to create an innovative mix of traditional blues and modern beatbox sounds: their fresh, unspoiled, highly original, danceable, always virtuoso, and very entertaining way of making music drives the three passionate musicians forward with unbridled joy of playing, guaranteeing the best entertainment.

Bandleader Chris Kramer is not only a gifted storyteller, singer, and savvy songwriter, but is also primarily known for his superb harmonica playing - for which the likeable Ruhrpotter is popular even among esteemed colleagues. Chuck Leavell (pianist of the Rolling Stones) says about Chris: "Oh man, what an amazing harpplayer," Cream bassist Jack Bruce calls the German colleague a "Master of the Blues-Harp." Götz Alsmann recommends "Chris Kramer's fascinating CD" and Jürgen von der Lippe invited him to his Saturday night show "Geld oder Liebe." Peter Maffay has taken him on tour and into the recording studio multiple times.

Guitarist Sean Athens has been in the show business since the age of 14. At the beginning of his career, he experienced what it means to be discovered by the music industry and to play directly at the sold-out "Barclay Arena" in Hamburg at "THE DOME." And just as quickly to be dropped if the desired success does not materialize. This has not diminished his deep love for music and especially for his guitar. On the contrary, despite his youth, he has an astonishing musical experience and transforms on stage into an energetic "showman," living and dying for every single note and literally merging with his guitar. This dedication has led him to demonstrate his strong playing style for artists such as Thomas Godoj.

"Beatboxing" is the art of imitating a complete drum set with the mouth. Kevin O Neal, as a two-time German Beatbox champion, is a true master of his craft. When he starts his solo, it is truly "breath-taking." As the pulse of the band, he showcases all his skills. He not only challenges the two soloists to excel but also understands the subtle tones. During his solo spot, he impressively demonstrates to the audience what beatboxing is, and his comedy talent also shines through. His funny and virtuoso show equally brings laughter and amazement to the audience.

Kevin O Neal comes from hip hop, Sean Athens from rock, and Chris Kramer from the blues. Each contributes themselves and their musical preferences into the band, and from this friction heat emerges the sound of the energetic trio, captivating audiences across generations. "Chris Kramer & Beatbox’n’Blues" are three exceptional musicians who take turns in the spotlight on stage and entertain their audience with exciting entertainment at the highest level. Highly recommended live performance!
