OEHL - TOUR DER GUTEN HOFFNUNG 2024

In the organizer's words:

Oehl, the 5-piece live band around singer Ariel Oehl, is throwing a party, the tour of good hope. And just like at any proper party, Oehl's shows are a chance to roar, sweat and dance along, but in quieter moments, such as the acoustic set, you may also get wet eyes and shed a tear or two.

Herbert Grönemeyer sings "Männer weinen Heimlich" in the song Männer in 1984. Not so Ariel Oehl, the singer and songwriter. Ariel shows his feelings on three records, in his monthly newsletter, on Instagram and on stage. His songs get deep under your skin and are anything but sentimental. They deal with the big issues of society and are served on driving beats, with lively bass lines and a gentleness that is unparalleled in German-language indie pop. Oehl's music is heavy and light at the same time, a sum of opposites that come together in the music and, as they say in Austria, "work out" quite naturally. Oehl has been under contract with Grönemeyer's label Grönland since 2019 and, following "Über Nacht" (2020) and "100% Hoffnung" (2021), also released the album "Keine Blumen" there in 2022. Oehl rounds off 2023 with the single "Die Arbeit des Frühlings", which, together with her booking at the FM4 birthday party, leads to speculation about the launch of a new campaign. Die Zeit attests: "Poppy yes, but unspent". Musician Caspar, who named Oehl's song Keramik Song of the Year back in 2018, simply calls Oehl a mixture of Tame Impala and Tocotronic. Impressions of the No Flowers Tour 2022 can be found in the official tour film "SO SCHÖN WIE ES NIEMALS WAR" by director Alex Lazarov (10min, Youtube).
