Markus Rill & The Troublemakers CD-Release mit anschließender midlifeCLUB-Party

In the organizer's words:

"When Markus Rill sings, when he gently taps his foot to the beat and closes his eyes, a whole world emerges, the world of rock'n'roll. All he needs is a guitar, some subtle picking and his voice. Grandiose." - Süddeutsche Zeitung

"German roots rock master with an acerbic voice and beautiful stories ... songs that shimmer with beautiful ambiguity ... brilliantly written" - Rolling Stone

"A remarkable songwriter. He can tell stories with a few guitar chords and well-placed words that seem like short stories. And he can make these stories resonate with a distinctive organ, with beautifully sanded vocal chords that bring to mind far too long nights in smoky music bars. The most renowned representative [of Americana] in Germany, indeed in all of Europe" - FAZ

"Markus Rill shows great depth as songwriter, bandleader and producer" - No Depression/USA

"Sensitive lyrics by a strong man, musically realized in a first-class way." - Picture
