Matthias Schriefl was a 1981-born man who grew up in the “Allgauer Alpen”, a region in the South of Germany. He learned the Blues of the Mountains and the Jodler from his mother. He was educated in Cologne, Amsterdam and other mountain areas. He currently resides in Cologne and can be heard as a Soloist or Leader of various groups. From there he organizes tours through the galaxy with his bands (but due to fuel costs and poor hotels, only very rarely). from http://emjorchestra.wordpress.com
