BluesNasen & Feel the Blues bring authentic blues to Darmstadt on January 3rd
The year will kick off with a real bluesy atmosphere at the Bessunger Knabenschule : On January 3, 2026, the Darmstadt BluesFest with two groups that enjoy cult status in the regional scene.
The BluesNasen , augmented by Larry “Doc” Watkins and Hans “Harp” Steinbacher , interpret classics from their idols and tell a story with every song. Rolli Blumenauer and Michael “Gröbi” Gröbert performing together since the early 80s – their unmistakable guitar sound defines the band and ensures an energetic interplay full of intuitive understanding.
Singer Larry “Doc” Watkins (Virginia/USA) adds a special touch with his improvisational stage presence, while Daniel Rozman (drums) and Klaus Saiko (bass, ex Nuthin But… ) provide the deep groove. Hans “Harp” Steinbacher , known from Sixpack and as a colleague of Abi Wallenstein, among other things, complements the ensemble with his distinctive blues harp playing.
The second highlight is Feel The Blues – an acoustic duo from "Hessian Siberia," consisting of Thomas "Stolle" Stolkmann and Peter Fuest . They passionately interpret works by JL Hooker , B.B. King , Clapton and J.J. Cale . Stolle's bluesy, soulful, and funk voice is guaranteed to give you goosebumps, while the versatile guitar playing of both musicians has been setting standards for years.
