Joachim Schäfer (2)

Born 15.07.1950 in Mannheim. From 1962 he played in local school beat band The Thunderbirds, that was of certain local fame. With some of the Thunderbirds musicians around 1970 he founded [a505702], but he only stayed in the group up to their first LP in 1972. The subsequent year he released his first solo release, the single "Mensch Meier-Mannheim", sung in local Mannheim dialect. This was an promotion release for local Mannheim shops. Soon after he founded a organ music school in Mannheim. 1978 he released his first solo LP. 1979 he opened the music bar "Miljöö" in Mannheim, that saw live gigs by about 700 artists. In the early 1980s he also founded his label [l616694] and a recording studio in Mannheim. Since then he also founded another studio in Mannheim and a studio in Spain. His later releases are mostly in the Schlager genre, sung in local dialect from Mannheim. His releases include a couple of more promotional releases, e.g. for Bundesgartenschau 1975, for the city of Frankenthal, and for Eichbaum brewery.
