Richard Koechli
@RichardKoechli
Musicien professionnel, auteur & producteur depuis 21 ans, cet artiste d’origine Suisse est connu pour sa maîtrise de la guitare 'Slide', pour son propre style de chanson « laid-back » et pour ces livres publiés par l’éditeur AMA de Cologne («Slide Guitar Styles», «Best in the West» et «Masters of Blues Guitar», qui a gagné le prix BEST EDITION 2011 en Allemagne). Son dernier album HOWLIN' WITH THE BAD BOYS surprend et fait beaucoup de vagues en France; un hommage aux légendes du Folk Blues, une extension personnelle et respectueuse des styles "Delta" et "Piedmont" avec 15 compositions consacrées à des mentors comme Charley Patton, Son House, Blind Blake, Memphis Minnie, Blind Willie Johnson, Tampa Red ou JL Hooker.
«Brilliantly delivered original compositions, deeply rooted in traditional blues – Richard Koechli bows before the legends and gets every bluesloving soul moving. If it weren’t for the few songs written in Swissdialect, no one would ever come to the conclusion that this exceptional celebration of sounds from the motherland of the blues is being delivered by someone from along the Reuss River in Lucerne. Koechli impressively proves why he is considered to be one of Europe’s leading blues and slide guitarists. From a musical point of view, it doesn’t even matter what the name of the river in Lucerne is. Richard Koechli wouldn’t go unnoticed on the Mississippi. He would be welcomed with open arms as will ‚Howlin‘ with the bad boys'...»
