Jimmy Reiter, who for over 10 years was lead guitarist with US Blues singer/harmonica player Doug Jay as well as supporting player for numerous international Blues artists on their European tours, such as Larry Garner, Big Daddy Wilson, Albie Donnelly and Memo Gonzalez, released High Priest Of Nothing in 2011, his solo debut as a front man.

The CD, winning the German Record Critics' Award and gaining praise by fans and critics alike, launched his career as a bandleader and frontman in his own right. Extensive European touring quickly established the Jimmy Reiter Band as a class act in the international Blues scene. On his 2015 album Told You So, Reiter once again showed his talents as a guitarist and singer, and proved to be a convincing songwriter, firmly rooted in the tradition of Blues and R&B, but with a fresh style of his own.

He is supported by his German/Dutch band consisting of Nico Dreier – organ/piano, Jasper Mortier – bass and Björn Puls – drums. After the release of What You Need in early 2019, the tight four-piece band is touring all across Europe in support of their new album as one of the most interesting acts on the current Blues circuit and continues to impress audiences wherever they play.

In addition to fronting his own project, Jimmy Reiter is a welcomed guest on studio albums of other artists, such as "Love Is The Key" by Big Daddy Wilson, Keith Dunn's "Collection", "Kinky At The Root" by Dede Priest and "Shake-Down" by Chad Strentz.

Reiter has released two successful video guitar courses for TrueFire, Soul Guitar Guidebook Vol. I and II.

I have been playing with my band in clubs and on festival stages all over Europe for several years. Previously, I was the lead guitarist with US Blues singer/harmonica player Doug Jay in his band The Blue Jays as well as supporting player for numerous international Blues artists on their European tours.

I released my first solo album, the award winning "High Priest Of Nothing" in 2011, followed by "Told You So" in 2015. My current album "What You Need" came out in early 2019. It features lots of original material with guest appearances by sax players Amadee Castenell and Sax Gordon.

In 2015 I was voted "best contemporary blues artist in Germany" and two years later, my band won the "German Blues Award" as the best German blues band.
