Wolfgang Rehmert

Wolfgang & the Rizomatic Orchestra

About Me

Influenced in equal parts by Blues, Acid-Rock, Ambient Dub and Heavy Metal, Wolfgang Rehmert's playing is fluid and melodic, and frequently transcends genre-boundaries in favor of fresh sounds and ideas.
Never afraid to experiment, Wolfgang employs a variety of effects on stage and in the studio to expand the sonic pallette of his instrument, while his classic all-tube amps ensure a clear, singing tone.
Wolfgang has played his music to thousands of people, with Biker Bar Blues Bands, shamanic Folk singers and Reggae acts, Classic Rock bands and others from Portland's Hempstalk festival to theaters and saloons in California and Nevada and venues in Europe.
The Rizomatic Orchestra, an all-improvisational Rock ensemble founded by Wolfgang Rehmert, is re-grouping, after some wonderful shows along the West Coast.
Danceable and fun, thoroughly listenable, yet never predictable, the Orchestra is sure to make you dance and bring a smile to your face. Watch for future shows in the Pacific Northwest soon!
Wolfgang is also recording his debut album Frozen In Time , a collection of Rock and Blues songs, written while travelling in Europe and on the West Coast..
