The BluesBerries are an acoustic blues quintet.


We play an eclectic mix of Delta Blues —a bunch of favourites (Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, etc.) and some more obscure numbers—, ragtime (That'll Never Happen No More & Filthy Rich among others) and the occasional modern song (Dead Drunk & Naked by The Drive-By Truckers and Prison Grove by Warren Zevon).


Along side this embarrassment of musical riches, The BluesBerries have added a number of their own songs. Paul writing the lyrics —giving glimpses in to his little black heart sometimes or just writing lots of songs about rumpy-pumpy— and Markus providing the musical direction and also showcasing his impressive musical range and way with a riff.

	Paul Herzberg: Vocals Paul only started singing in public a couple of years ago (sober, anyway). Mostly, it seems, he did it to annoy sax players who didn't quite understand him. Since then he's found his own voice and a great band to sing with. He's still not managed that two groupies thing yet, though.
	Markus Windhager: Guitar Markus formed The BluesBerries to give expression to the songs that he couldn't get to play with his other bands. Quite why he chose to do this with a large drunken Englishman he's not quite sure, but it seems to be working out anyway. He's the heart of the band and the keeper of the band's musical direction.
	Hannes Fehringer: Mandolin, Dobro, Washboard, Rhythm Guitar The Gentleman —he knows how to play the banjo, but doesn't. Hannes is the latest member of The BluesBerries. Bringing with him more instruments than I care to name right now and his infectious sense of humour, Hannes adds a unique layer to The BluesBerries sound. He hopes that one day bluegrass will be legalized.
	Markus Riegler: Harmonica, Vocals Bringing his understated yet powerful harmonica solos and his velvet tonsils, Markus is an essential part of the BluesBerries mix. Often has the thankless task of explaining Paul's jokes to Austrian audiences.
	Walter Bayer: Upright bass, Vocals The pulse of the band. A busy man. If all his current band members were laid end to end it would be a party to write home about! Walter keeps the groove and looks after the sound.
