Dave-Blog 2019/2: a musician’s life
There are so many clichés and preconceptions about the life as a musician. Jokes, when you still lie in bed at 10 a.m. (although you worked in the studio or on stage until three or four the night before), or how good the money is we earn for standing on stage for this short time……Continue reading Dave-Blog 2019/2: a musician’s life
bass on tour with Ivy Flindt
So it has already been one month since the great album by Ivy Flindt was released which was recorded and produced in Malmö and Stockholm, Sweden by the producer of the Cardigans. (Hear and purchase the album everywhere you know) We have been touring since and playing most concerts as a trio so that I…Continue reading bass on tour with Ivy Flindt
tour-rehearsals with Ivy Flindt and The President
It is hard to remember when we last had such a sunny summer here in Hamburg – so let’s go inside, hide from the oh so brutal sun, grab my bass, and rehearse. For the tour with Ivy Flindt that we will play this September (find all the tourdates on their sites, come over and…Continue reading tour-rehearsals with Ivy Flindt and The President
bass with Sebó at Hamburg Port Anniversary
The Port Anniversary festival in Hamburg is annually a big event with an abundance of food, drinks and joyrides. And next to the Fischauktionshalle where every Sunday early morning you go for the after-party and some fresh fish stood the Reve-stage where we played some good music with Sebó. It is always great fun to…Continue reading bass with Sebó at Hamburg Port Anniversary
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
Night of the Songs – concert in Flensburg
This February brought another Night of the Songs which I am always really looking forward to to be a part of. Two headliners are invited to play together with the two hosts Richard Wester and Manfred Maurenbrecher and myself: only one rehearsal and then playing their songs on stage – with everybody on stage joining…Continue reading Night of the Songs – concert in Flensburg
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
with Michelle at “Summer Hit Festival” in Travemünde/Lübeck
Last time I played with Michelle was at a great open-air-festival about one year ago and so it was nice seeing her again and to play this gig on national tv. The festival took place in Travemünde next to Lübeck, directly by the Baltic Sea. The weather was perfect and so the setting couldn’t be…Continue reading with Michelle at “Summer Hit Festival” in Travemünde/Lübeck
bass, vocals, and foot-drums with Sebó at Duckstein-festival/Lübeck
As Sebó spends a lot of his time working on his second album there are not as many live-gigs with him (I played half of all basses on his first album but this time he will sound more contemporary and so the low notes will be met by bass-synths). However, now, finally, there were a…Continue reading bass, vocals, and foot-drums with Sebó at Duckstein-festival/Lübeck
at Prachtwerk, Berlin with Ivy Flindt
Last week the Ivy Flindt band took a little trip to the Prachtwerk in Berlin Neukölln. There, we met dear colleagues, presenters of the media, a great support-act (Livy Pear) and a welcoming crowd. As well, it was great to play my Höfner Beatles-bass again! On our way back in our tourbus: good talks and fast-food:…Continue reading at Prachtwerk, Berlin with Ivy Flindt
concert with Papillon Rising in Munich for GQ Germany
You do get around as a working musician – this time with Papillon Rising for GQ in Munich. That was fun: 80s-synth-pop-funk and I don’t only play my bass but my synthbass, as well. Usually there are even some parts for my electric guitar but this time our keyboarder took over with his keytar! Great party,…Continue reading concert with Papillon Rising in Munich for GQ Germany
concert with Thomas Anders in Almaty, Khasachstan
The last few days set another great example for the fact that the concept of “Rock’n Roll” applies to all musical styles. About one week ago I was asked if I wanted to play bass for Thomas Anders (the “Brother Louie”, “Geronimo’s Cadillac” and so on) in Almaty, Kazakhstan. That sounded like fun and so…Continue reading concert with Thomas Anders in Almaty, Khasachstan
on the road again with Sebó
On the road again: we’re going to play at Kito, Bremen tonight. My basses, the band, and I look forward to seeing you there!
