Mathias Kellner mit "Ernsthaft?!"

Mathias Kellner has been touring the country for years, singing songs about God and the world in a raspy, gentle voice and telling strange and funny stories about the Bavarian provinces. The Upper Palatinate native from Lower Bavaria is one of Bavaria's best-known singer-songwriters and regularly blurs the boundaries between music and cabaret with his shirt-sleeved stories. Even when he is singing the melancholy song "Radieserlwalzer" about his journey to the center of the world, he immediately goes on to tell hilarious stories about his "dishwashing meditation".

Kellner is a master of entertainment and each of his concerts is a grab bag with different levels. Sometimes the ballad from yesterday's concert suddenly turns into a groovy blues number. Sometimes a song is interrupted in the middle of the performance and a crazy arc is drawn to a story that spontaneously occurs to him.

But there are also clear constants in his performance. Armed with his guitar for the chords, a stomping foot for the rhythm and a remarkably versatile voice, Mathias Kellner leads us through his program. The whole evening seems both spontaneous and precisely choreographed. His extremely authentic style makes you feel as if you are meeting an old friend in no time at all. The only difference is that this one is a great entertainer who takes you on a musical and humorous journey for a few hours.
