While growing up in South Germany he first cut his teeth every evening around sundown while playing for his family. Later, he played in a band, hit the local scene and studied classical guitar with Victor von Hasselmann and Anton Stingl. Eclecticist in the positive sense, in broadest terms between Classical Music, Blues, Country, Folk, Rock, transforming himself into the entire variation of styles, with elements of Jazz, without fear of venturing into Pop, for the past five years, JS (Joerg Sommermeyer) has been performing with his group The Black Djemba. The band has enjoyed playing to their ever-increasing following in the Southern Germany Area and has gotten favourable reviews. Their material seems to be ever changing and hard to pin down categorically. What always remains the same is the exceptional and wide-ranging musical personality of JS (Joerg Sommermeyer).
'Those Rocks & Lieders', the second release by JS (Joerg Sommermeyer) continues in his unique assorted style with poetic lyrics and colourful imagery. The collection of 16 pieces, that present a common thread of expression using lyrical songs as well as instrumentals, provides you with a unique combination of acoustic and ambient recordings with occasional poignant lyrics and colourful imagery. Tracks include acoustic guitar, vocals, harmonica, electric guitar, piano, bass and percussion.
