New Soul-Rock Single "Move On" feat. Patrick Quintin (march 2024)
March 2024:
On 15.03.2024 my soul-rock single “Move On” had been released. It's actually an ancient 8-track recording (over 25 years old) that I've simply remastered and re-released.
As an exception, I only sing the choir parts here (and of course I also played all the guitar tracks!), because the lead vocals were contributed by my old musician friend Patrick Quintin as a featured artist. Patrick has a beautiful soulful vocal timbre and interpreted this song excellently. I would do the production myself differently today, but it has that certain “retro charm” and combines rock & soul with the depth of soul & power of rock!

quote: "So the brand new single “Isolation Has No Good Vibration” shines in the funk rock genre (hand played musical instruments!) with an incredibly rich sound, very catchy hooklines and style defining set vocals. Release date was March 11, 2022.
With “Isolation Has No Good Vibration” soul rocker and multi-instrumentalist Jo Oliver speaks from the heart of many sufferers! "Funk Rock” brings back memories of the legendary Rock-Palast performance of the US funk rockers “Mother’s Finest” from Atlanta / Georgia for many older rock music fans. The Berlin musician “Jo Oliver” followed this performance as a teenager and was on fire about this energetic style mix of funk and rock. Years later – after Jo Oliver himself performed on countless stages as a guitarist for other singers and he played guitar on tens of studio productions, wrote songs for quite a few artists and also produced them – this love for funk-rock resurfaces. The songwriter and multi-instrumentalist finally discovered his love for singing and now writes songs in an unmistakable Jo-Oliver sound with rocking guitars, funky riffs and grooves and the depth of soul. “The Spirit Of Soul Meets The Groove Of Funk And The Power Of Rock!” is how you could describe this sound."
