Carl Carlton & Melanie Wiegmann and the Great Band - Miles of Time Tour 2026

After their successful joint debut, CARL CARLTON & MELANIE WIEGMANN are following up: "Miles Of Time", their second album together, was released on January 23, 2026 - and will be accompanied by a tour of the same name.

Their first album "Glory Of Love" (2023) already met with a great response and went straight into the top 50 of the German album charts. With "Miles Of Time", CARLTON and WIEGMANN deepen their musical connection and present a work full of intensity, depth and stylistic diversity. Between rhythm & blues, Americana, blues and soul, they interpret forgotten song gems just as impressively as their own compositions.

"Two voices and a soul have sought and found each other here. And with the album 'Miles Of Time' they have created something truly unique and new." - Musix. At the heart of the album is a special artistic symbiosis: CARL CARLTON's virtuoso yet sensitive guitar playing and his distinctive, raspy voice merge with MELANIE WIEGMANN 's soulful, authentic vocals to create an intensity that is just as convincing on record as it is on stage.
