I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Laundromat Blues - Richie Arndt and The Bluenatics

No no, really, Richie Arndt was not born in New Orleans. Neither does he hail from Memphis, for that matter. Still, his great passion is for the Blues and American Roots music in general – the origins of today´s Rock, Pop and Jazz music. The East-Westfalian (which sounds like a contradiction in itself) guitarist, singer and songwriter has been a constant force within the German music scene for ages, which is hardly surprising when you consider his emotional kind of playing, his moving compositions and rousing concerts. For three decades, Richie Arndt has been on the road in completely diverse line-ups and styles. Lots of opportunities for looking beyond one´s own spectrum, for learning how to grow and develop, and also for sensing when the right time comes to return to the very beginnings. Feeling once more how it all began when he was still a teenager. Even then, his heroes were called Rory Gallagher and Johnny Winter, while on the other hand, the great singer/songwriters like Van Morrison or Joni Mitchell made a lasting impression on the young artist. Following their trails, he discovered his deep love for “good, handmade music”, as he likes to call it. It meant aspiring for technical perfection as well as inspiration – and finding his own inimitable style in the process, actually: a style that gives his Blues its warm-hearted soul, while the rhythmic beat of his songs allows some Rock and Pop connections to raise their often rather attractive heads.
