Udo Lindenberg: The living legend

In case you didn’t know, we applied for the Panikpreis sponsored by the Udo Lindenberg Stiftung ….. it’s about being authentic, that is marching to the beat of your own drum, and expressing yourself in German. UDO Goldener Hut 2016_Layout 1.809879.jpg.809884

Thanks to our pianist, Eva, we have some pretty diggin’ songs in German. I love them. Check out our entry, by clicking on Udo’s hat above.

Halloween Birthday Surprise

TableDecoSometimes we are hired as surprise guests to perform for various festive occasions. On Halloween this past Saturday we had the great pleasure to surprise a fresRosenblutenhly-turned 60 year old music-lover with our upbeat musical contributions. 

Sometimes people feel moved to dance and other musicians feel like joining in. Sometimes we get to try new things, like Rosenbluetensaft, and eat wonderful food like tarts with figs and goat cheese. Nothing scary about that  ; ]
