Richie Loidl, born 1967, comes from Bad Ischl, in the Wolfgangsee area of the Salzkammergut region, Austria, where he became classical piano lessons from age 8 to 14, with very negative results. Primarily in 1986, at age 18, he learned to really play the piano, during a graduation summer course as bartender at the Hotel Schloss Seefels on the Woerthersee. He developed a passion for boogie-woogie and blues piano, inspired by the styles of Axel Zwingenberger and Vince Weber. During his social sciences / management studies in Innsbruck, Richie was abundantly “shakin’ up” the night-life scene of the city, and it did not take long for him to become known as the “Boogie Man”. This resulted in a great number or performances at home and abroad.
His repertoire consists not only of moving boogie woogie and earthy blues, but of popular Broadway standards, discreet bar music, and the pop-songs that everyone likes to hear. The performances are conceived completely upon the theme of the venue, whereby Richie creates a good mood not only on piano, but on vocals as well. Besides concerts and international festivals, the venues include company events, private parties or performances in the bars of finer hotels.
Since 1986, Richie Loidl has developed a mostly self-taught individual style, linked to the feedback from his audience.
