Falk // Live & Unerhört

For all friends of sarcasm and black humor and for all who like to think outside the box: FALK goes on tour with his new concert program "Live & Unerhört".

On an evening with the singer-songwriter and music cabaret artist, no more is expected of the audience than to be able to laugh at themselves. Because FALK works off the spirit of the times and tries to spare nothing and no one.
to spare anyone - not even himself. A statement against the delusion of having to take sides all the time, tongue-in-cheek entertainment instead of dead-serious education. And all that without consideration of losses.

FALK has already been awarded numerous cabaret and cultural prizes for his work. He also has his brand new album "Unerhört" with him: A potpourri of absurd, thoughtful,
vicious and lovingly rabble-rousing compositions from life.

EXCERPTS FROM THE PRESS

SAARBRÜCKER ZEITUNG/ Kerstin Krämer
"Crisp, snappy, sarcastic, snappy and with a subversive delight in provocation; absolutely not politically correct and not a bit nice........The accomplished singer with the sometimes thrashed, sometimes plucked percussion guitar is something like the Hyde version of Reinhard Mey or Ulrich Roski; his pitch-black lyrics offer just as much surprising potential for conflict as for identification."

HESSISCHE ALLGEMEINE, Kassel:
"His lyrics and songs have bite, subtle wit and at times such a delicious malice that you just have to laugh. Yet the 35-year-old looks as well-behaved and nice as a model son-in-law. [...] As a cabaret artist, Falk does well, is eloquent, quick-witted and very entertaining: long-lasting applause, encores."

An eighth of a laurel leaf, justification of the Förderpreis jury:
"The Förderpreis-Jury of the Liederbestenliste is convinced that there is no getting past the young singer-songwriter Falk in the coming years. [...] He personifies a polarizing attitude that has become rare in our country, in our industry. And yes: also in the singer-songwriter genre. His lyrics are already rising to become the epitome of sarcasm poured into melody and song.
sarcasm. Where other young artists - for all their lyrical brilliance, for all their sound quality - increasingly seek to close ranks with their fans, Falk polarizes even those people who are well-disposed towards him. Where other musicians artfully package unpleasant things, Falk simply speaks - or sings - them out.
And thus refuses to be packaged, to be couched in plausible terms."

GENERAL-ANZEIGER, Bonn:
"The nice boy next door, who just sits down at the guitar and sings as if he never did anything else, can get pretty nasty if you - or should we rather say: woman - strain his nerves too much. But don't worry; there's more to him than that. A contemporary poet who can tell of the greed for gold as well as of the inner demons that sometimes drive one around. Clear and straightforward, to be understood by anyone who has the time and desire to listen to him."

Review of the Waldeck performance:
"He speaks out what he thinks. He ignores certain filters of etiquette, and what some might see as crude impudence could ultimately prove to be an entertaining form of honesty. The fact that he doesn't shy away from political incorrectness either and has - as it says on his website - "declared meanness to be an art form" and "with cabaret-like subtlety and
with cabaret subtlety and heartfelt hatred" is currently running riot on the German cabaret stages,
that makes him - I admit it - particularly likeable to me."
