English:
After the surprising success of of his debut "Down to the Delta (2005)" which was reviewed as album of the month in the German Bluesnews, and his follow up "Travellin" (2007), the south-german guitarist arrives on tour with a fresh album. On his new CD "Desire" (2008, Zyx/Peppercake) "this man aims to entertain in a fantastic manner. No matter if he's moving on soulful, funky or rootsrocking pathways. The Blues is the foundation on which he builds". (Rocktimes)
At his energy driven concerts, which he celebrates with an "empathetic and earthy voice" (Bluesmagazine, France), he presents his typical musical interpretation of Blues and Blue moods, between Delta and New Orleans, from Shuffle to Funk. Conscious of tradition – but yet modern, his voice and guitar form an energetic and emotional unity and appear magically linked.
On stage he's supported by two longtime companions, Michael Siegwart (Drums) and Frowin Ickler (Bass): "Tight and compact, always keeping the groove in the centre" (Concerto, Austria), this rhythm section after 600 gigs runs like a machine. "This trio starts where others play their encore", the Rheinpfalz wrote in an euphoric critique. Here comes a band that’s grown, suffered, partied and lived together.
A band that interprets the Blues always new, but always remains faithful to its melancholic and emotional soul.
Francais:
Avant le succès de "Down To The delta" (2005), que BluesNews a élu "album du mois", et de son successeur "Travellin'" (2007), le guitariste originaire d'Allemagne du Sud a fait ses débuts comme Sideman pour des stars comme Chris Norman (Smokie) ou Kathy Kelly (Kelly Family). Avec "Desire" (2008, Zyx/Peppercake), troisième album du trio blues de Bad Bergzabern, Timo Gross "affirme sa créativité et démontre la maitrise qu’il a de son instrument, teinté de Soul, de Funk ou de Roots, il reste toujours à l’aise et le Blues reste sa marque de fabrique" (Rocktimes)
Lors de ses concerts énergiques, "sa voix sensible et terreuse, une finesse d'exécution sur sa strato, font que l'on est envoûté" (Bluesmagazine, France) son interprétation musicale typique du blues et du Blue Moods, entre le Delta et la New Orleans, entre Shuffle et Funk, reste ancrée dans les racines et pourtant, est d’une modernité indéniable. La voix et la guitare forment une unité, énergiques et chargées d'émotion, liées l’une avec l’autre.
Il est soutenu sur scène par ses deux compères de toujours, la section rythmique dont il ne sépare pas, Michael Siegwart (batterie) et Frowin Ickler (basses) , avec qui il a joué plus de 600 concerts comme une machine bien huilée - dont deux Tournées couronnées de succès en Ecosse et en Angleterre comme le "premier Bluesband allemand" (BluesNews) .

It’s been well over a year since I last recorded something new my friend, but it’s that time again. I posted a new original song called “Forever No Restraints.” It's the frist song on the Myspace music player.
I refer to it as cosmic blues.....but blues it ain't. I used to do this song as a short solo acoustic piece, but I decided to turn it into a lengthy electric guitar jam and let my freak flag fly!
It has a strong Hendrix vibe, but is uniquely me….. Please drop by my page and have a listen! I also posted a video of me doing the song as I recorded it, so even if the music player isn't working, you can check the song out in the video.
Hallo Timo, wenn ich deine Musik höre, erblüht in sanften Farben das Licht und wärmende Strahlen fallen tief in mich hinein. Jeder deiner Songs ist besonders !!! Ich hoffe, du bist nicht am Schmelzen bei der Hitze. Denk immer dran, der nächste Winter kommt bestimmt ;-) Bei mir ist nach turbulenten Wochen etwas Ruhe eingekehrt und im Herbst bin ich auch wieder auf deinen Konzerten dabei. Ich wünsche dir Tage wie gemalt so schön. Lass die Wunder dieser Welt ganz tief in dein Herz und geh nicht den Weg, den alle gehen, sondern geh deinen eigenen, bunten Weg voller Abenteuer. Mit einem sonnigen Lächeln Heidi

Hi Timo Gross, nice to meet you. Thank you for the add!! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs make its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out! Thanks a lot for the attention and support. Keep in touch.
Kisses from Brazil, Marie
