With, “The Dance Goes On”, singer-songwriter-guitar slinger Volker Strifler follows up his acclaimed self-titled release (The Volker Strifler Band) on Blue Rock’it Records.
The Volker Strifler Band is an extraordinary group of musicians that is more than just the sum of their shared and individual experience as performers. Together (Volker Strifler on guitar an vocals, Gary Silva on drums, Don Bassey on bass, David Schrader on saxophone, Carl Bowers on trombone, and “Chip” Roland Condon on keyboards), they conjure up a seductive mixture of old and new styles and hard to find originality.
“The Blues is what I start with. It brings with it a singular truth I have come to love. In the process of writing and playing, I let the influences on my life shape it to make it my own” Volker Strifler “The Dance Goes On” is Volker’s most soulful, diverse collection of songs to date and also marks his best effort yet as a producer. As proof, the CD is being added to playlists in numerous radio markets throughout the United States and abroad, including the legendary WWOZ in New Orleans, San Francisco’s KPFA, and many more.
Sizzling live performances add another dimension to the experience. You’ll never hear what you expect and will be pleasantly surprised by what you get. The Volker Strifler Band, using the blues as a canvas, tops itself every time they perform, creating singular musical textures featuring Volker’s dynamic vocals, innovative songwriting, and instrumental expertise. The ease and confidence with which this band is able to transcend genres leaves audiences stunned and asking for more every time.
“I owe a lot of what I am to the people I have had the chance to work with. This new CD is the realization of a dream I have had for a long time. I am grateful to all of the musicians for sharing their talents and friendship with me to make this project happen.”
The last few years have seen Volker maintaining a busy schedule fronting The Ford Blues Band and serving as a side man to Robben Ford, Lowell Fulson to name a few. Ultimately though, where Volker is concerned, it is the VSB that shows off the magic possible when music is played with conviction to originality.“The Dance Goes On”, released in late 2006 on Blue Rock’It Records, is being distributed world-wide by Blind Pig Records.
