Rene Trossman (USA)
blues guitar
Rene Trossman (Chicago, Illinois) is a guitar player with a long history in Blues Music. Since turning pro in 1985 Rene has just about done it all, including the fantastic Chicago blues club scene, where he was a regular at both South Side and West Side clubs, playing with artists such as Deitra Farr, Byther Smith, Nate Turner, Iceman Robinson, Eb Davis, Lorenzo Thompson, Sharon Lewis and others.
Rene plays straight-ahead, Chicago, West-side and South-side style blues, in the tradition of the ’50s and ’60s Chicago scene. His band mostly plays Rene’s original music, while paying homage to the greats of Chicago’s “Golden Era of the Blues”, the ’50’s and ’60’s.
Rene’s love for the incredible stars of that era is evident, as they like to romp through material by Otis Rush, Magic Sam, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Earl Hooker and other blues artists of the era.
Rene has conducted many blues guitar workshops in several different countries, as well as teaching privately.
The various musicians who appear with Rene Trossman are among the best blues players from the Prague scene, with both Czechs and Expats from other countries living in Prague.
