8 Frauen Benefizkonzert - Linda und die Lange Leitung, Rosa Hoelger, die Einzelteile, Merle Weißbach & Paula Linke für HAWAR - Frauen- und Menschenrechte in Iran

In the organizer's words:

Nine unusual, outstanding women come together for an exclusive concert on one stage: Linda und die Lange Leitung, Rosa Hoelger, Merle Weißbach, die Einzelteile and Paula Linke! This means a varied program of punk and chanson, band and solo acts, all playing with everyone and it can only be a stunning evening. So get to it!

The proceeds and donations from the concert will go to HÁWAR.help.
HÁWAR.help is a human rights organization founded on the ashes of the Yazidi genocide. We raise our voice when human rights crimes are committed: Today, we implement development and education programs in Iraq, Syria and Germany, as well as international awareness-raising and education initiatives and political work - including on the freedom movement in Iran and for Afghanistan. Our projects are always conceived and implemented on a multi-ethnic and multi-religious basis.

Paula Linke

Linda und die lange Leitung consists of Linda Gundermann and Sonja Goll, who in turn founded the band "Einzelteile" together with Maria Jacobi, Thekla Apitz and Anna Schmucker. And then there is the secret third member: Judith Retzlik (Schnaps im Silbersee, Linda und die lauten Bräute, Gerda Vejle) on violin, bass, trumpet and vocals. Their songs are about worriers, flower children, village bum pirates, little brothers, favorite people and those who used to be - in short: about all those who make their hearts beat like hammers.

Linda and the long line

Rosa Hoelger is an experimental singer-songwriter from Erfurt with strong lyrics and a free voice between punk, tenderness and classical music. Grinning, do it yourself, rare and raw, there. Her style lies somewhere between Dota Kehr, Nina Hagen and Pippi Longstocking. How can someone be so happy and so sad at the same time?

"Rosa Hoelger has a very unique, laconic tone. Her lyrics are as unexpected as her arrangements. The experimental Erfurt native sings about relationships between two people, the effects of wine and the lack of vacation feelings, while also conveying the attitude to life of her generation." - Liederbestenliste

"The young singer Rosa Hoelger is one of the most promising talents on the German singer-songwriter scene." - WDR5

Rosa Hoelger -

Die Einzelteile, founded in October 2022, consists of Sonja Goll (guitar, vocals, kazoo), Maria Jacobi (guitar, vocals, lyrics, melody), Anna Schmucker (drums, cajon, bass, vocals) and Thekla Apitz (trumpet, violin, vocals, lyrics, melody). The four songwriters sing songs ranging from lyrical and melancholy to political and thoughtful to funny and witty!
