After winning the German Blues Challenge 2011, Michael van Merwyk & Bluesoul took second place at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, USA, at the beginning of February 2013. The four musicians played confidently and confidently in the final with their fresh and independent music. "American Music - Eurostyle" caused a sensation in a field of 124 band acts from 16 countries. Their placement in the motherland of the Blues can be described as sensational, even more so because in the 29-year history of the IBC this was the first time a European band achieved a placement at all!

Michael van Merwyk's style is unmistakable: autodidactic and emotional. His voice growls like a mixture of D.r John and Johnny Cash, his guitar playing is funky like Johnny Guitar Watson and rough as Albert King. Whether acoustic, electric or on the lap-steel: if it has strings, it is played. His musical personality is equally popular with international musicians and organizers, so he was invited as one of the few Europeans with his band Bluesoul to the prestigious "Lucerne Bluesfest" and played on CDs by Larry Garner and Big Daddy Wilson. He regularly tours all over Europe - from Finland to the Mediterranean coast, from the Atlantic coast to Moscow. (Translated from German)

Personnel: Michael van Merwyk (guitar, lap steel, vocals), Olli Gee (bass), Jochen Bens (guitars), Bernhard Weichinger (drums).
