MasterPeace - The Dylan Projekt Record Release Tour

Is Bob Dylan a woman?

2016 saw the launch of an exciting musical project in which the US folk legend's songs are sung by a woman! Singer Steffi Breiting sings them with a powerful soprano voice. Her voice is full in volume and rough and slightly throaty in coloration, which promises a highly interesting listening experience. Breiting is the front woman of the bands "Moods of Ally" and "Sweet Confusion". She is also a background singer in various formations, including Dirk Zöllner's new album.

"MasterPeace" is the name of the new band in which musicians from different countries play together.

play together. Dylan has been interpreted thousands of times in different ways. This time, six excellent musicians have come together whose musical beacon has been Bob Dylan for years. These include Wolfram Bodag on organ, piano and harp from the band "Engerling". The world-famous rock musician Mitch Ryder has chosen the group as his regular accompaniment for his European appearances. They are joined by Briton Jeff Allen on drums and Kuma Harada from Japan on bass guitar. Both have been very successful in the music business worldwide for decades, playing in the band of British blues star Snowy White and with Mick Taylor, who played with the Rolling Stones for many years. It was at a concert there that they met the German guitarist Tobias Hillig, who Mick Taylor brought on stage as a guest guitarist at this gig. Tobias Hillig, who together with Steffi Breiting also had the idea for this band, plays regularly with Dirk Zöllner, "Moods of Ally" and numerous other projects.

After the death of Kuma Harada in March 2023, Michael Bailey ( also Mick Taylor Band and many others) now plays live on bass

Tobias Hillig: "We don't see ourselves as a cover band, the songs are rearranged and given their very own touch."
The selected songs include the classics "All along the Watchtower" and "Like A Rolling Stone". Less well-known songs will also be played. For example, the 1965 song "Ballad of a Thin Man" or the 1984 song "License to Kill". But it also includes the largely unknown "Winterlude" from the LP "New Morning". Hillig: "Dylan is one of the most influential artists of our time. There is hardly a musician who has not been influenced by him. We see our program as a tribute to a spiritual giant of music."
Overthe last 6 years, a very clear-sighted look at the work of the great master has been created in MasterPeace's own versions.Now the studio recordings have been mixed in London and will be released on CD on 24.11.23 on Buschfunk !
