With a curious eye and open ears, ex-Kofelgschroa MAXI PONGRATZ moves between city, country, folk, pub music, tradition, rebellion, Dadaism, poetry, wit and melancholy. His Valentinesque lyrics think outside the box, look beyond the horizon and tackle the big questions. Rough, authentic and groovy, the "David Bowie on the accordion" (Die Zeit) illuminates everyday life with his very own style and has become an integral part of the German cabaret scene.
