About two and a half years ago, he was invited by rocknet.bz to perform in Brixen with great success: Carl Verheyen, a renowned guitarist who has been described by specialist magazines as one of the best in the world and was a member of the legendary band Supertramp for 35 years, is coming back to the Astra on 12 May with his five-piece "Carl Verheyen Band" and the new album "Riverboat Sky".
The concert offers the audience a unique opportunity to experience a powerful mix of blues, rock, jazz and country from five world-class musicians in a comparatively intimate hall. Verheyen will be accompanied by bassist Dave Marotta (Phil Collins, Bruce Hornsby, Gino Vannelli etc.), drummer John Mader (Bonnie Raitt, Pat Benatar, Steve Miller), multi-instrumentalist Troy Dexter (Wilson Phillips) and singer Hollye Dexter. Verheyen has an impressive discography and is known worldwide as a studio guitarist for numerous television series and films as well as a live performer. He has worked with a wide range of artists, including B.B. King, Joe Bonamassa and John Fogerty, and has even taught guitar to members of Maroon 5 and System of a Down. Quotes from musicians such as Joe Bonamassa, Brad Paisley and John Fogerty emphasise Verheyen's outstanding talent and versatility as a musician. His work includes 17 albums, two live DVDs and two instructional books, and he is known as a master of tone and guitar virtuoso. Incidentally, Swiss singer-songwriter Bettina Schelker will be performing in the supporting programme. The concert is supported by the Sparkasse Foundation and the German Culture Department.
Support Act: Bettina Schelker
