Engerling

Engerling is a blues rock band from Berlin. They were an integral part of the blues scene in the GDR. It was founded in 1975 by Rainer Lojewski and Wolfram Bodag in East Berlin as Engerling Blues Band. While Wolfram Bodag and Heiner Witte were educated at the music school Friedrichshain in East Berlin, all other band members were autodidacts. The band name Engerling was chosen without deeper reference. The band has remained true to their style to this day.
