Bad Temper Joe

At The Villa

When it comes to blues in Germany, there is no getting around Bad Temper Joe. The grumpy blues bard from the East Westphalian province has developed into an absolute exception in the blues scene in recent years. This is not only evidenced by the large number of albums with songs that are as rough as they are haunting that BTJ has released in the meantime. This is also evidenced by winning the German Blues Challenge, as well as nominations for various blues awards and the German record critics' award. With devotion to the old blues musicians from the Mississippi Delta, Bad Temper Joe easily brings the often-declared-dead blues into the 21st century - and with everything that characterizes blues at the highest level: excellent songwriting, a strong sense of tradition, and an engaging performance. BTJ is also making waves internationally. In 2020, he was the only European act to make it to the final of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, USA. The British Blues Matters Magazine judges: "Its hard to believe that the sounds of the Mississippi Delta have relocated to Germany, but they have."
