Martelle

It was with hard-rocking riffs, intelligent arrangements, and fresh, innovative solos that Andreas Schmid-Martelle (born 1961 in Ludwigshafen), as guitarist of the Jule Neigel Band first gained attention of Rock fans. From 1987 to 2000 Martelle has also functioned as co-author, arranger and producer. The band has sold over 2 million discs.
