Karwendel Weihnachtskonzert @ Nachtasyl

Christmas tree decorations and the scent of speculoos: Hamburg-based songwriter Sebastian Król, aka Karwendel, sets the mood with his warm and humorous take on the strangest and most wonderful time of the year. Amid candlelight, holiday hustle, and quiet longing, songs unfold about crowded train stations, family rituals, and quiet moments on the couch. As part of his “Festtage Tour,” Sebastian Król is coming to Nachtasyl with his full band.  In addition to original songs from his Christmas album “Das Fest” and the Karwendel repertoire, the audience can look forward to selected Christmas covers and poems. The festive and contemplative evening will be rounded out by special guests Betti Kruse & Christmas DJ Tingel.

Sebastian Król (guitar, vocals)
Jule Heidmann (double bass, vocals)
Mariama Ceesay (vocals)
Taco van Hettinga (piano)

“An ode to charity, to hope in difficult times. For Karwendel leaves no doubt that the world out there is often turbulent and bleak. Nevertheless, his music has something very comforting and life-affirming about it.” DIE ZEIT
“Król has a sensitivity in his voice similar to that of Gisbert zu Knyphausen.” Rolling Stone
