Die Ilses Erika Sommerbühne im Biergarten mit SETH FAERGOLZIA (USA, Dufus/Multibird)

Hailing from Rochester, New York, avant-folk visionary Seth Faergolzia tours Europe in 2025, bringing his unique blend of delicate acoustic intimacy and frenetic vocal-loop wizardry to stages across the continent. Known for his fearless reinvention of folk traditions with projects such as Dufus, Multibird and Forest Creature, Faergolzia remains a cult icon whose work defies categorization and has been compared to Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa for its bold originality.

This tour promises to showcase a softer, more introspective side to his work, contrasted with the electrifying chaos of his signature vocal loop station performances.

Faergolzia, who emerged from New York's Lower East Side anti-folk scene at the turn of the millennium, first gained recognition as the mastermind behind Dufus, a band that turned folk on its head with punk energy and theatrical absurdity.

His successful career - with over 40 albums and performances in more than 20 countries - has cemented his reputation as a musical shape-shifter, equally at home in raucous ensembles as he is as a one-man whirlwind of sound. For this tour, Faergolzia strips the music down to its essentials, devoting himself to delicate, soulful fingerpicking guitar songs that reflect the raw emotional clarity of his 2021 album "Not Only Because But Also Because". These compositions, characterized by complex melodies and delicate lyricism, reveal a vulnerability that contrasts with his fierce stage presence.
