PLEWKA & SCHMEDTJE / Deutschland

In the organizer's words:

Between the 80's

For many years, the duo Jan Plewka and Marco Schmedtje have been a guarantee for intense musical moments. With Zinoba, they had a band together from 2003 to 2005. With the now two-part series "Jan Plewka sings Rio Reiser", they created an extraordinary monument to the band Ton Steine Scherben and the songs of their late frontman Rio Reiser live and on record, complemented by a great live band and an audiovisual realization that is as much modern theater as it is a rousing live concert. This was followed by an approach to two other artists, Simon & Garfunkel, who are no less appreciated by both of them.

With all these encounters with these great artists from the past, they also went on tour again and again, resulting in another program entitled "Between the Bars", in which the two now performed not only their finely chiselled, quiet and acoustically reduced, yet so urgently intense cover versions, but also their own songs from the Zinoba catalog, as well as the respective solo albums of Plewka and Schmedtje. Every now and then another cover version was mixed into the programme, mostly songs that told of the two's youth and musical socialization. And so the idea for another cover album was born: "Between the 80's", a collection of highly successful songs - one might say classics - from this decade, completely reinterpreted in their very own way.
