Some years ago, in March 2008 I've seen this young
man (then 24) for the first time in my 2nd living room, the famous
. He allready had released his 2nd. CD
then and he came to Berlin for his very first time.
Me and everyone else were deeply impressed by that "rough diamond" he
was then.
His talents developed and matured enormously since this time.
This diamond
gets shinier and shinier ever since I went to one of his shows.
This man can play - no he IS; he ACT OUT Rock and Blues and Soul, he's
funky, he's a excellent guitar-player, a gifted songwriter and exciting
live performer.
I can't praise him enough. I could write an eulogy about him.
He won the Australian Blues/Roots Performer of the Year Award, he
officially represented Australia in the International Blues Challenge
in Memphis,
Tennessee.
He shared bills and stages with people like Chris Whitley,
the legendary Big Jack Johnson, Chris Isaak and Jeff Martin and many
others.
I'm very proud that Jaimi (pronounce: tcha-my) accepted my invitation
to play here.
If you allready do know him, you know what to expect.
If you don't know him, do yourself a favour come and see him, in a
couple of years you can tell everybody: "I once saw him in the
Fahrradkeller" and people will get jealous!
You can find some mp3 s
here (some
amateurish recordings I did).
You can find more infos on his website and there are loads of YouTube
clips around.
I'm a strong supporter and enjoy-er of independent music &
musicians.
For quite a while, my house is a place for wandering troubadours to
stay and relax and explore my hometown Berlin and have a good talk and
a cold beer.
I'm doing house-concerts just for the fun of it and also to
introduce my befriended musicians to people i know good enough to
believe they will enjoy this music as much as i do.
Usually there is a house-concert every month (sometimes 2 a month)
in my
basement which can hold up to 30 people comfortably.
