Singer Songrider #6

In the organizer's words:

Handmade music at the Bremen headquarters

We hope you had a relaxing summer break!

Put on your diving fins and paddle over to the Zentrale - because on September 26ththere will be the 6th Songrider! It will be refreshing and warm at the same time. We're already looking forward to it like a whole swarm of starfish!

With us this time:

Désirée Klaeukens

You should listen to her music especially when you're cold. Because each of her songs makes you feel a little warmer.
Because her lyrics assume that sick people can get well again and that you can fix things that have been broken. Because her guitar sounds like fragrant cedar wood. And her voice is so rarely relaxed and familiar. So that you want to stay. For one more song. And then for one more.

Désirée Klaeukens, or Desi for short, released her first EP in 2014, followed immediately by her debut album. "Wenn die Nacht den Tag verdeckt" caused quite a stir - of enthusiasm and astonishment: so much emotion and so little sentimentality. Her songs provide simple and honest answers.

Since 2018, you can also hear Desi in the duo Theodor Shitstorm.

The latest song project, together with Joerg Nawra, is called Don't look back in Erkner. Desi is coming to us just as it all began - with a dark-wood guitar - all the way from Berlin, we're really looking forward to it!

Elisabeth Frey

Elisabeth Frey makes music against cynicism and bitterness. On stage, she opens up to her listeners in a very intimate way and takes them into her world. From cheerfully melancholic love songs to punky pop junk - the songwriter's vocal power knows how to inspire in quiet moments as well as in combative passages. Sometimes serious, sometimes snotty, then vulnerable again: she always powerfully invites us to resonate with our emotions. In addition to her solo project, for which she writes and composes all the songs herself, Elisabeth Frey is the keyboardist for Fuckin Fiona.

The Real Jakob

Everyone knows the guy from the park who sits on the bench and tells his stories. Der Wahre Jakob has been doing this for 15 years - quite successfully. At first, they set the stage alight with a full big band and three albums were released. Der Wahre Jakob traveled a lot, played in German-speaking countries and were on the radio. Later, when more and more of the Osnabrück studio musicians decided to join Karottenbreikleckse an der Wand (aka children), the band continued in smaller line-ups.

The special thing about Wahren Jakob are the jazzy and funky accents that repeatedly mix up the acoustic pop, as well as the lyrics garnished with a lot of wordplay that make you think and smile at the same time. Jakob Volz describes everyday situations with such subtlety that the images are immediately conjured up in your mind's eye. The songs have something timeless about them. "I'm not wrinkled, baby, it's just my used look", for example, a line whose explosive nature will become more and more important over the years 🙂

You're coming to our headquarters as a trio, with guitar, piano and bass - we're looking forward to it!
