Meanwhile they became one of the most successful acoustic acts in the junction where BLUES, JAZZ and SOUL meet. Their music combines the intensity of the blues with the freedom of jazz and the sound of soul in inimitable fashion. Friend ..n Fellow live performances are one-of-a-kind experiences full of virtuosity, passion and depth.

THOMAS FELLOW won several prizes at international competitions for classical guitar and played concerts in India, South America and the USA.

He developed a comprehensive schoolbook for the guitar as a comping instrument (FELLOWBOOK).Release date: October 2009 SCHOTT MUSIC (German language) „Eine Stimme, eine Gitarre – der Rest ist Staunen“ Friend ..n Fellow, die Meister der intensiven Zwiesprache und Europas Top-Duo Stimme/Gitarre, haben 5 Jahre nach ihrer letzten Studio-CD im September ein lang ersehntes, neues Album veröffentlicht – „Crystal“ Ihr Weg führte sie nach mehr als 1000 Konzerten in den USA, China und Europas bedeutenden Metropolen zu einem der erfolgreichsten akustischen Acts der internationalen Musikszene. In ihrer Musik verbindet sich die Intensität des Blues mit der Freiheit des Jazz und dem Klang des Soul auf unnachahmliche Weise.
Sie bewegen sich mühelos unter den Großen des Genres und erwarben in Konzerten u.a. mit Ray Charles, Al Jarreau („I really like your work“) und Luther Allison deren Anerkennung. Luther Allison war es auch, der das Duo über alle Maßen förderte und als musikalischer Gast und Koproduzent für den großen Erfolg ihrer Debut CD bei Ruf Records „Home“ mitverantwortlich war. Daraufhin nahm er Friend ..n Fellow als Special Guest auf seiner letzte Europa-Tour mit und beschrieb ihre Musik als „The sound of the new century“ „CRYSTAL“ wurde von der Zeitschrift Stereoplay zur „audiophilen Pop - CD des Monats November“ gewählt. Der Deutschlandfunk meinte: „Ein Traum von einem Album!“
