Heavy Texas Blues, Blues Rock with Rock ’n’ Roll influences – the “New Generation” of German Blues!

Finalists at the German Blues Challenge 2024 and fresh off the release of a brand-new EP, Tscheky & The Blues Kings bring high-voltage Southern flair straight out of Bavaria.

For more than a decade, this powerhouse five-piece-band has been tearing up stages with a raw, dynamic blend of Texas Blues, Blues Rock, and Rock ’n’ Roll swagger. Their setlist mixes explosive originals with reimagined classics, all delivered with a fresh edge that makes every show unmistakably their own. It’s a sound that pays respect to tradition while pushing it into the here and now.

Fronted by Michael “Tscheky” Sedlatschek (vocals, guitar) and Christoph Voggesser (guitar, harp), the band is rounded out by Andreas Schatz (keys), Markus Rehrl (bass), and Elija von Le Suire (drums) – a tight-knit crew that has grown into a serious live force.

From major festivals to packed club gigs across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, they’ve shared the stage with international heavyweights like Bernard Allison, Kai Strauss, The Bluesbones, and Mojo Blues Band. Along the way, they’ve racked up TV spots (BR-Abendschau), awards (band of the month on Bayern 2), and a reputation for winning over audiences of all ages.

With their debut Hit The Ground Running (2016), the follow-up Men Of Blues (2021), and the brand-new EP On The Shoulders Of Giants (2025), they make it clear: Blues Rock is alive, kicking, and ready for the future.

Catch them live and you’ll see: Tscheky & The Blues Kings aren’t about nostalgia – they’re about high-energy, soul-shaking music. A true Texas Hoedown made in Bavaria.

“This is one really cool tune with old-school, energetic sound.  – Don's Tunes 2024 (new Single Outer Wilds)

“While the phrase “Blues will never die“ has already started growing grey hair, a look at the average age of the blues scene makes us wonder about its future. One possible answer could be Tscheky & The Blues Kings, who, besides talent and dynamic, provide a fat and authentic sound on stage“. – Bluesnews 2016

“Five Kings and a sound at its finest “ – Reichenhaller Tagblatt 2019

“It is wonderful to watch and listen to their professionalism, their joy of playing and their energetic enthusiasm time and time again. Michael “Tscheky“ Sedlatschek and his Blues Kings from Siegsdorf know how to knock their audience’s socks off with their Blues- and Rock´n´Roll classics.“ – Traunsteiner Tagblatt 2018

“This boy unleashed a true guitar tsunami“ – Erik Trauner (Mojo Blues Band) about Tscheky in 2017

“Tscheky is a really great player and he can sing as well, which is less common in his age. Many of them play a fine guitar but there is still a problem in singing, but he is on a really good way" – Kai Strauss ( German Blues Award Winner) 2022

“No – they cannot be called a boygroup in the usual sense. Quite the opposite: The band plays on a whole different level!“ – Traunsteiner Tagblatt 2016
