BORN IN BIELEFELD, GERMANY, GUITARIST, SINGER, AND SONGWRITER BAD TEMPER JOE HAS FOLLOWED AN EXCITING PATH OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, PLACING HIM AMONG THE MOST RESTLESS AND CHALLENGING BLUES ARTISTS IN THE COUNTRY. AN ACOUSTIC GUITARIST BY DEFINITION, THIS MUSICIAN REWRITES THE EMOTIONS OF DELTA BLUES SONGS, EFFECTIVELY TRANSCRIBES THE CHORDS BORN FROM SLIDE AND FINGERPICKING TECHNIQUES ON HIS GUITARS, AND CREATES THE PERFECT ATMOSPHERE TO SING THEM. HE REVISITS THE OLD BLUES TO PRESENT IT TO NEW LISTENERS AND PASSIONATE FANS WITH AN APPROACH THAT DEFIES LIMITATIONS, EMBARKING ON A JOURNEY THROUGH THE UNIVERSALITY OF CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC. THIS BAD BOY HAS RELEASED FOURTEEN ALBUMS SINCE HIS DEBUT IN 2014. HIS LATEST, "THE ACOUSTIC BLUES GUITAR REVUE," IS A WONDERFUL SHOWCASE OF WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THE BLUES IN EUROPE, WHAT KIND OF ALBUMS ARE BEING PRODUCED AND WHO THE MOST INTERESTING ARTISTS ARE. BAD TEMPER JOE IS ONE OF THEM
