Lagerfeuer Deluxe mit Jan Röttger, Morley & Friedemann Weise

In the organizer's words:

The last Lagerfeuer Deluxe before the summer break in King Georg we come around the corner with an absolute All Star program. But see and hear for yourself:

"I want my music to sound like Ray Charles interpreting songs by the Arctic Monkeys," Jan himself sums it up, naming the blues and indie rock icons as just two of his many influences: His socialization with 90s Britpop, the melodious aesthetics of the Beatles and pulsating hip-hop percussiveness are unmistakable in every song. In his lyrics, the 40-year-old looks his own inner demons in the eye regardless of the consequences: from the autobiographical confrontations with depression to the self-reflective soul striptease about the escapist appeal of self-destruction, Jan doesn't make a murder pit out of his soul and inspires others to do the same with this ruthlessness.

This unmistakable magic, when exactly the right minds come together and everything harmonizes in a wonderful way, remains the most valuable characteristic of timeless music. Such processes are usually inexplicable, as is the case with MORLEY. One thing is certain: The organic lightness with which her polyphonic harmony vocals float through the atmosphere is extraordinary. At times, it almost sounds as if their voices are holding hands lovingly. At some point, MORLEY landed completely organically on their intimate and emotionally charged folk-pop sound. Acoustic guitar, ukulele and electric bass complement each other just as well as the three vocals, while the accompanying songs are often more complex than typical folk-pop songs. These sophisticated harmonies in particular make it clear that all three singers originally come from the world of jazz. MORLEY, however, is poppier and therefore music that touches everyone .

"I'll keep posting videos of Friedemann Weise until he's finally the star he's supposed to be!" (Jan Böhmermann) (He didn't say when he would do this, though. Thanks for the Böhmi bump anyway)
