BluesRock Battle 2026
Two artists, well established in the blues rock scene, will grace the Gewerkschaftshaus with their bands. For years, their concerts have regularly sold out at the Musumskeller. Now, a larger audience has the chance to experience these two exceptional artists along with their equally brilliant bands on one stage.
STEPHAN GRAF'S DOUBLE VISION
Do you want a trio that is loud, dynamic, earthy, and spirited? – then you should attend a
THE DOUBLE VISION concert!
The three guys from Thuringia can boast 8 self-produced albums with exclusively original songs. Their musical orientation is very diverse, influenced by numerous styles, which all three band members mix into the great pot of rock music, stirring well and seasoning it with power, joy of playing, and passion.
The name Rory Gallagher is closely associated with the band, which does not consider itself a cover band – rather, it is the approach to music that Rory influenced.
The fact that Stephan Graf takes on vocals and guitar in the Band of Friends reflects recognition from the "highest authority."
Since 2020, Stephan has been touring with Gerry McAvoy's Band of Friends throughout Europe, which should be a name for every Rory fan. This rhythm section pushes forward; not only does singer and guitarist Stephan Graf engage everyone 100% every night, but so does the audience.
ANDREAS DIELMANN BAND
With repeated wins of the German Blues Awards, the Andreas Diehlmann Band definitely ranks among the top of the German blues scene. Like a well-oiled machine, the band works through its original compositions, which are strongly rooted in traditional blues but still have a unique and modern touch. Jörg Sebald on bass and Tom Bonn on drums form the rhythmically dynamic foundation of the power trio around exceptional guitarist Andreas Diehlmann.
From the laudation of Baltic Blues e.V. (German Blues Award): "He and his band rock the stage - and do so with great power and intensity. Unlike many others in his genre, the blues rockers, for him it's not about 'faster, higher, further.' Endless scales up and down don’t happen here. Instead, he places great value on delivering a varied guitar from the finest over a tight, dynamic performance in the 'engine room.' This means that here, differentiated, technically demanding solos are played with just as much feeling as pressure. The package is rounded off by Andreas' rough voice, which is perfectly suited for blues rock."
"Although there are only three of them, the band manages to create a cohesive sound without any gaps. A very difficult art that only a few German bands master. Anyone who appreciates well-made blues rock should not miss this band!"
