The Port Anniversary festival in Hamburg is annually a big event with an abundance of food, drinks and joyrides.

Beatlemania at Heide theatre
In the beginning of this year I played a little tour with the Richard Wester Band and the Schleswig-Holstein Symphony. We played a mix of Richard’s tunes and songs by the Beatles. All this was called “Beatlemania” and was a lot of fun as such a big orchestra of excellent musicians is quite powerful! I…Continue reading Beatlemania at Heide theatre

recording an album with Noah Wunsch
By the end of last year I got asked to work with a rather special artist: Noah Wunsch. He has already done quite a few things from acting, dancing, illustrating and painting, photography over writing to music – and now he wanted to record an album with me featuring only his voice and my guitar.…Continue reading recording an album with Noah Wunsch

very nice concert with Xusha featuring the Young Orchestra Hamburg
In the beginning of this year I had the chance to be a part of a project of a befriended band – Xusha. Xenia, the singer, is of Russian descent and so the idea was to combine their original music with musical quotes by Tschaikowski. To achieve this needed sound the great Young Orchestra Hamburg…Continue reading very nice concert with Xusha featuring the Young Orchestra Hamburg
playing some jazz on stage again – finally!
This year started out very nicely with a little jazz gig with my old friends from Jazztett. Ah, to be able to show what I practice all these scales, arpeggios, chord substitutions and all that for! We really did free ourselves playing this music – hey, so often people have to pay for this experience!…Continue reading playing some jazz on stage again – finally!
new input at “Operation Ton” congress in Hamburg
Yesterday and today I attended the “Operation Ton” congress here in Hamburg at the SAE with loads of courses that all deal with various aspects of the music business. I learned something new or at least got some new food for thought, which is good. Like a course I attended yesterday about the “music-universe 4.0”…Continue reading new input at “Operation Ton” congress in Hamburg
the pen is stronger than the sword…
There it is: this wonderful late summer weather we were all so much looking forward to! We got good twenty degrees here in Hamburg – perfect to finally get a pen and staff paper and rush out into the sun – without any instruments at my fingertips – and start a composition. I wanted to…Continue reading the pen is stronger than the sword…

We headlined at a festival at the legendary Fabrik, Hamburg…Continue reading with Sebó-band at the legendary Fabrik, Hamburg
full house with Sebó in Ziethen
The other day we played another trio concert with Sebó – with Malte Kuhn on guitar and myself on bass, background vocals, and foot-percussion. This time our way led us to Ziethen in Northern-Germany. The venue was so quickly sold out that we were asked if we could not simply play two concerts – way…Continue reading full house with Sebó in Ziethen
