About Me

I am a mandolin player from Freiburg, Germany.
I started playing guitar in my local mandolin orchestra, teached guitar, lerned to conduct an orchestra, conducted some mandolin orchestras, and then slowly moved from the guitar to the mandolin, playing, folk, jazz, bluegrass.
I am composing new pieces for mandolin, and I play in a Bluegrass band called Blackberry Jam.
I am interested in all kind of music, especially if ther is some mandolin, mandola, mandocello in it - but not necessarily.
I get a lot of ideas from the profiles of other musicians and bands here in myspace!

Any comments about my music, about my profile are welcome!
My homepage MandoIsland is mainly in German but partially in english - and has many more mp3 files with my music and the music of our band Blackberry Jam!

Look at my youtube videos:
