Best Oililio Live mit RICHIE ROS

OILILIO – Your Local Bar! presents, in collaboration with The.Emotional.Zone and MusicConnectsAll, www.cafe-schwarz.tv, and Rausgegangen.de—live and open-air (indoors if the weather’s bad, of course!) from 8 to 10 p.m., though… the end of the concert will largely be decided by the audience!

RICHIE ROS

“Odyssey”—Richie Ros’s debut album—springs from a life that’s anything but ordinary. Richie Ros’s life story is a testament to the human spirit and the cathartic, healing nature of music. Richie grew up in a state-run orphanage in the Irish city of Limerick and felt confused about why his life had turned out the way it did.
It was on Richie’s 11th birthday that he was finally given the guitar he’d longed for by a teacher who taught him his very first song on the guitar: “Johnny Be Goode.” To cope with such emotional turmoil, Richie began writing and performing his own songs, developing his own inner world where his feelings were expressed through music.

Despite the trauma of his early years, Richie refuses to let his past define him. Richie had no control over the events in his life, but the one thing he did have control over was his attitude.

Fate found him: David Odlum, the Grammy-winning producer of The Frames, who, after liking the demo, agreed to produce Richie’s debut album, “Odyssey,” at Black Box Studio in France. The album is aptly titled “Odyssey”—the journey of a young boy who, despite all odds, worked to create his own fairy tale. The music in his soul had, as he put it, “finally set him free.” “Odyssey” was released in May 2019, and Richie Ros has been touring extensively ever since to share his songs and stories with the world.

All concerts are “pass the hat” shows, which means you, as a guest, decide what amount you consider appropriate and put it in the hat. There are no set rules—you alone decide. A little tip: Musicians create their work, rehearse, and come all the way to our venue! Musicians love the “spotlight,” and every amount—just like you—is welcome! We accept cash or EC-Cash!

Musicians’ applications (please always submit comprehensive and complete applications—no “Hey, I’d like to play sometime”) should be sent to info@emotional.zone
