Besides Hard+Soul, I am engaged in a band called Reegroove. Founded by Italian-based singer Tony Toma, the band focuses on the more rocking part of Italian pop music. With an original setup of Tony on vocals, Enzo on drums, and me on bass/vocals, we are unfortunately missing the fourth member on guitar. This is why we are now looking for a brilliant guitarist who can help us move forward. We are located in Ettlingen, southern Germany, and are happy to be approached. A hint of

Again found me a new instrument - this time a five string bass from Cort. Lot of new opportunities and fun again to work on new ideas. This led me to a new song that is more in the Dance & EBM category. Also playing around again with the Voice Studio from Moises to convert my own guiding vocals into a female voice that sounds way more exciting. Therefore - have fun now with the new song "Hey - Dance"

This promo track is from our rehearsal room, looking for gigs in region Karlsruhe / Pforzheim Germany. Franz (g

Vocals had been multiplied to a choir with new vocal synthesizer functionality in Moises and we ended up in a classical Christian contemporary worship song. Wasn't ment to be like that, but it was a nice experience, learing some new stuff and entered another musical category. ON SOLID GROUND by Blackthorn Blossom

When I look into my DISCOGRAPHY I can see an endless list of 126 songs, that I wrote or at least co-wrote in the last 40 years of my musical activities. Starting with my first band Czaika Ranch back in the nineteeneighties I developed as a musician with songs over a wide musical spectrum. For me it is fun to now and then listen back into the cataloge and see how things developed. Probably you also like to dive into the Blackthorn Blossom universe - I built two collections fo

With new equipment (Tonex Bass Preamp) there are always new song ideas. Using a fat Ampeg bass driven sound was the ground work for the new song " Ruins ", once again something dark in odd times, but as usual still with some hope within.

Played two concerts with my gospelchoir GetUp, part in the band with my bass, part singing in the choir. Went well, will be the setup for the next years.
