Erwin Helfer, a Chicago boogie woogie innovator and master, has been forging his own piano music legacy. Erwin has been playing and performing for over forty years. The sounds and personalities of past boogie woogie and blues pianists have nurtured Erwin's musical growth.

He was also mentored and influenced by Cripple Clarence Lofton, Speckled Red, and Sunnyland Slim.
