Since the release of the band’s latest album "As The
Crow Flies" (2006) everything changed for the band.
Coen's long history of self released CD's and continual
live performances, cumulating in the release of his
debut "Broken Glass" (2005) CD on Cryingtone Records,
established him as an up and coming blues slinger with
an original twist of his own.
The "live band" sound of "as The Crow Flies", coupled
with the tours at major festivals that following year,
more than proved to a worldwide audience of rabid fans
that Coen Wolters rocks, funks and plays the way he
wants to play and leave the comparisions for this
crowded genre up to others.
It's hard to stand in the shadow of great guitarists,
but CWB fans know that Coen's songwriting, music and
performances are much more than a typical blues rock
Experience.
Coen’s performances are always high energy, reflecting
his love for live performances. His guitar style is
unique and emotionally charged, spiced with just a touch
of
Born in the seventies, Coen began playing guitar until
age 18, and within a few of years he was performing in
local bands, making a name for himself while his skills
advanced rapidly, and dramatically, as the young slinger
advanced his name and reputation with each iteration.
The early part of his career consisted primarily of
playing in rock bands, but by the age of 24 he decided
he had to pursue a heartfelt longing to play blues based
music.
Rapidly progressing from local bar band to an
international touring band, the CWB performed on
international highly rated festivals like the Skopje
Blues & Soul festival (Macedonia), Bluestock,
Memphis, TN (USA), Rother Bluestage in
Germany (with Snowy White) and the Grolsch Blues
festival in Schoppingen (Germany).
Readers of the online rockmagazin “Rocktimes” voted the
opener song of Broken Glass as 2nd best song of the year.
The German national major radio station
“Deutschlandfunk” recorded a live show which will be
broadcasted early 2007 for a German nationwide audience.
A newspaper review after the gig at the Rother Bluestage
stated that Coen was:
“Young, hot and in a few years one of Europe’s most
important Blues guitarists”.
