About Frankie Owls – Blues & Soul from Stuttgart

From the crackle of a yellow Big Bird record player to the stage lights of Stuttgart, Frankie Owls has been chasing one truth: every note counts. Blending deep Delta blues roots with modern soul fire, Frankie brings the raw sound of Mississippi, the intensity of a European club, and the spontaneity of the road into his guitar.

Now based in Stuttgart, he has become known as an American blues guitarist in Germany, delivering a raw, emotional style that keeps Delta blues alive in a modern setting. No gloss, no gimmicks—just honest sound carved into string and wood. Every performance becomes a conversation between musician, instrument, and the silence in between. It’s not just a show—it’s alive, immediate, and personal.

Frankie has played 80+ intimate blues nights across Stuttgart, Böblingen, and southern Germany—small clubs, cafés, acoustic sessions, open mics, and street performances. These close-up shows shaped his sound: one guitar, one voice, and a slide carrying the spirit of Mississippi into European nights.
