Beige Fish - 2 albums: Snakes 'N' Wimmen / Beige Fish

"BEIGE FISH“ is a new "BLUES' N' ROOTS project - produced-directed and recorded by John H. Schiessler. Mastered at SKY STUDIO for SKY PRODUCTIONS by BOBBY ALTVATER.

How does one describe a man, who can't be filed under any single category; whose immense talent really defies description in ordinary language; and whose artistic achievements are far, far too many for one tiny text box?! The man behind the music of Vanilla Moon, Beige Fish and Holland Avenue …John H. Schiessler, of Hungarian descent, was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 1956.
He received his musical calling at the age of twelve, while listening to Crosby, Stills and Nash …. his flash of light! At that point he decided to become a musician and learned to play guitar, piano and drums simultaneously! He was fourteen years old when he joined his first band, singing and playing the drums. The band was called Earthquake. "I guess we made some terrible noise," he laughs!

"Terrible noise" or not, he has never looked back. He has played and sung in many bands; written and performed chart-topping songs in Germany and Denmark; written scores for many German films (including "Der Grosse Bellheim", "Atomdorf" and "Gluecksritter"); worked as musical director for the dance theatre "Letters from Tentland" by Helena Waldman (which is still performing all over the world); not to mention over two decades experience, working as a professional photographer. Each project defining more and more the master of all forms of art, he has now become. From the life experience of this incredible man, one of the greatest musical talents in the world has emerged.

Year: 2013
Art: Front

[3:27] 1. Alyssa May

[1:53] 10. Mosquito Fart

... listen to great down home blues, acoustic and electric slides and some fine roots-covers. Kicking off with the upbeat "Alyssa May" sets the pace for the BEIGE FISH blues ride. Included is "The More You Cry" (a song which has already made a prominent mark on the online Blues scene) the pesky instrumental, "Mosquito Fart" and the energetic "Constant Current" with great bottleneck work !
The album also features more of the brilliant teamwork between John and the great Nina Van Horn, on "Love is Strange" and "Both Sides".

Brilliant electric slide and lead guitarist, MASAHIRO TODANI, from the Nina Van Horn Band, also adds to the atmosphere and sheer excellence of this Blues masterpiece ! Turn up your speakers and take it in !!
