Frank Fröhlich

The guitar can do anything! You just have to let it…
This is the motto of his concerts. The guitarist and entertainer has already performed in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Namibia, Tanzania, Vietnam, and England. He has released 52 CDs and, through his diverse projects, made a name for himself as a creative and inspiring musician.
Blending genres, he appears with actors such as Gunther Emmerlich, Günther Maria Halmer, Eva Mattes, Claudia Michelsen, and Thekla Carola Wied; has performed with jazz musicians like Joe Sachse (guitar); accompanied writers such as Peter Härtling and Walter Kempowski; played with African and Chilean musicians; composed film music for the U.S. series Mind of a Chef; created custom film scores for Buster Keaton’s comedies; and has captivated audiences and the press alike with his concerts for children!
He weaves all these diverse experiences into a very personal and distinctive style.
Frank Fröhlich – “The Guitarist of the Stars” – PURE GUITAR at the Blue Hour with all its possibilities – you’ve never heard or seen anything like it!
“Enchanting soundscapes.” – Die Zeit
”A true discovery: Frank Fröhlich. He doesn’t just have a cheerful name—he is cheerful, and he spreads joy with his guitar playing, his compositions, and his audiobooks.” (*Note: “Fröhlich” means “cheerful” in German.) – Kölner Stadtanzeiger
”Fröhlich astonishes with the most surprising combinations of melody and percussion playing.” – Akustik Gitarre
”Pieces of the highest grace!” – Der Tagesspiegel

The time between sunset or sunrise and complete darkness casts a special kind of light. Painters and photographers have long been inspired by this “romantic” moment of the day. With his latest album, Frank Fröhlich joins that tradition and once again demonstrates his remarkable talent for tongue-in-cheek humor.
With pieces like “Blues i denn” and “Forelle in Blue,” he reinterprets familiar works in surprising new ways. And it works brilliantly—without a hint of awkwardness—thanks to Fröhlich’s confident, inventive, and stylistically assured playing on his Hanika guitar.

“Die Blaue Stunde” brings together mostly original compositions, often with autobiographical undertones, such as “Ikarusmädchen,” “Schlumpalumpa,” and “Gitarrenverliebt.” Fröhlich also breathes fresh life into classical pieces with his unique arrangements—for example, the lullaby “Der Mond ist aufgegangen” and Franz Schubert’s “Die Forelle,” which becomes the jazzy and modern “Forelle in Blue.”
It is precisely these bold transformations that reveal Frank Fröhlich at the height of his artistic powers.
