Mark Slate & Rotosphere

The band Rotosphere has become a cornerstone of the Blues Festival Baden (Switzerland). Since 2005, led by guitarist and bandleader Nic Niedermann, they’ve been lighting up the festival’s legendary Late Night Jam Sessions. Over the years, they’ve shared the stage with blues icons such as Magic Slim, Susan Tedeschi, Coco Montoya, and Chicago’s own blues harpist, Matthew Skoller.

A truly magical moment unfolded in 2021 when Mark Slate took to the stage. The charismatic blues and soul singer captivated the audience from the first note with his powerful voice. Having spent years on the road with the ‘Joe Cocker Tribute Show’, Slate embodies the raw and gritty essence of the blues. Now, performing alongside Rotosphere, they deliver original tracks brimming with energy, passion, and musical fire – an unforgettable experience for every listener!
