Andreas Albrecht has been part of the Berlin music scene since the late eighties. He is a songwriter, singer, drummer, pianist and busy producer. Among other things, he has been behind the mixing desk for Manfred Maurenbrecher's last ten albums, which have received numerous awards, including the German Record Critics' Award and the annual Liederbestenliste prize. Music legend Lüül also hired him for his CD "Wanderjahre" and the Berlin radio hit "West-Berlin" on it. In 2022, he produced "Gundermanns Lieder in Europa" with songs by Gerhard Gundermann translated into several languages.
Samuel Beck, aka Ukulele Preacher, was exposed to music at an early age, as his father was a guitar teacher. He played in his first bands at the age of 15 and at the age of 33 he became the musical director of the FlicFlac circus. In 2010, he discovered his love for the ukulele and combined it with his long-standing interest in philosophy. He has been on stage as a ukulele preacher since 2011. He travels all over Germany both as a soloist and with a band.
Harald Sylvster Wolf
As a lyricist for many bands, I usually meditate on the guitar or privately on the drums. I have been composing mainly German-language songs for over 30 years and have directed many musical pre-productions. As singer and guitarist for the pop duo ORNAMENTAL HERMITS and Kies & Schotter, I book the concert series of my two bands and work closely in networking with many DIY artists.
