STOPPOK SOLO feat. TESS WILEY - Texas meets Ruhrgebiet!

In the organizer's words:

STOPPOK is a singer, musician - German-speaking singer/songwriter and great guitarist. His music is an independent mixture of folk, rock, rhythm'n'blues and country. He sings about the adversities of everyday life with a fine sense of humor and constantly distinguishes himself as a critical observer of his environment.

What began in the early 80s with street music led to over 20 albums, two DVDs, film and theater music in the course of his career, which made him known throughout the German-speaking world and was repeatedly awarded (including multiple winner of the annual Liederbestenliste prize, SWR Liederpreis, German Record Critics' Awards, Belgian Radio's "Ehrenantenne", GEMA German Music Authors' Prize 2013, German Kleinkunstpreis 2015, German World Music Prize RUTH 2016, Tana Schanzara Prize 2020) and the Swiss Liederpreis - La Grande Bellezza 2021). In his songs, Stoppok knows how to tell fundamental questions and problems of our time in often personally colored stories and thus create a natural connection between the private and the general. STOPPOK turns everyday language into poetry that creates images of touching directness.

In the songs and in the concerts, the not at all silent observer is concerned with attitude and values. Something that our synchronized, multimedia society has largely lost in its search for quick success. The perfect rhythmic combination of language and music has always been just as important to him as the lyrics. Whether with his rock band, as a duo, solo or with his fellow artists: Stoppok always strikes the right note and fascinates his audience as a brilliant entertainer.

At this concert, STOPPOK will be accompanied by Texan TESS WILEY. An outstanding singer and multi-instrumentalist. The voices of the two musicians harmonize perfectly. The accompaniment on violin, guitar or piano gives STOPPOK's typical guitar playing plenty of room to unfold. Always groovy and tastefully arranged, this combination is particularly good for the songs. Acoustic rock'n roll at its best. Different every night, new every night and yet very familiar. Something for the heart to do. Texas meets Ruhrgebeat!
