An Evening Full of Key Magic: Christian Christl's Spontaneous BoogieWoogie Reading

Those who love the reading atmosphere and have a flair for rhythmic spoken art will experience a literary adventure with sound: Christian Christl combines storytelling, historical context, and Boogie-Woogie piano for a vibrant encounter with the author. In Landshut, he unfolds the wonderful world of Barrelhouse and Boogie pianos – free, spontaneous, without a manuscript.

From Barrelhouse to Grand Narrative

Christl takes us back to a time when radio waves carried live concerts and trains transported musicians across the country. In short, concise stories, he paints narratives about pub pianos, barrelhouses, and the birth of a style that transforms the piano into pure energy. His reading is oral literature: anecdotes, miniatures, historical snippets – always mirrored by musical examples.

Voice, Keys, Timing

His voice tells, his touch responds: spoken art meets piano art. Pithy formulations, precise rhythm, and a timing that breathes the drive of Boogie blend into an intimate experience. The piano comments on the words, modulates moods, opens spaces – a rare collaboration of reading and concert.

Classification: Genre, Style, Quality

Christl operates as a connoisseur of the scene: Boogie, Blues, New Orleans influences – everything is skillfully interlinked. He has shared the stage with international greats and received the Pinetop's Award in 2017; his expertise fuels the literary quality of his narrative passages. Thus, a highly musical essay in real-time emerges: culturally historically grounded, delivered with lightness.
