ANDERS – Wir schenken uns nix!

Anders is known for contemporarya cappella pop, clever German-language lyrics, and catchy melodies—even at Christmas. In their show“Wir schenken uns nix,” the five members from Freiburg explore the most beautiful, quirky, and touching aspects of the cold season. Amid candlelight and holiday shopping frenzy, cinnamon stars and icing, contemplation and festive madness, they tell stories of everything that makes this holiday so wonderful—and sometimes so wonderfully exhausting. With a mix of original songs full of wit and melancholy, familiar Christmas tunes, and sophisticated pop-jazz arrangements, Anders become charming observers of the drama that unfolds year after year amid tinsel, gingerbread, and the glow of lights. Whether you’re a die-hard Christmas fan or a self-proclaimed holiday skeptic—“Wir schenken uns nix” is a musical gift that’s guaranteed to move everyone.

They are Germany’s a cappella German poets. Their style: catchy melodies and pointed lyrics. Anders write smart pop songs in German that take the a cappella format seriously, offering more than just instrumental imitations of current chart hits or nostalgic songs about the plants on the balcony. With this approach, they thrill their audience not only at their own concerts but also as the opening act for bands like Revolverheld or Thees Uhlmann.
