Purple Schulz - "Ich hab nicht ewig Zeit" - Die Tour zum Siebzigsten

Purple Schulz

"I don't have forever" - The tour for the seventieth birthday

PURPLE SCHULZ turns seventy. And? Carry on. Makes music. Goes on tour. "I don't have forever" is the name of the new program. Not a lament, not a retrospective, not a farewell. But a clear announcement. And the soundtrack to a decision: Do it now! His songs have accompanied generations - including hits such as "Sehnsucht", "Verliebte Jungs" and "Kleine Seen". But PURPLE SCHULZ is more than his successes. His repertoire portrays personal ruptures, addresses social issues and has lost none of its urgency to this day. Even the familiar songs sound different today: denser, clearer, more direct. The new program builds on this. It is about speed and pause, about noise and clarity, about the private in the political - and vice versa. An evening with attitude, humor and substance. PURPLE SCHULZ combines the intimate with the universal, the vulnerable with the steadfast. He doesn't sing about the times - he questions them. Musically, he remains unpredictably flexible, switching effortlessly between pop, chanson and chamber music density on the keyboard. And on the 22-string harpejji - a cross between a piano and a guitar - he creates a sound that has an immediate effect: clear, close, unmistakable. An instrument that is rarely heard and never forgotten. On the guitar: Norman Keil. A songwriter and musician on German stages for many years, he brings timing, presence and a keen sense of dynamics to the table, lending the songs additional depth and energy. No nostalgia, no looking back. But an evening that wants something: to invite you to listen, to make you think, to move you to empathize. An evening with attitude. And songs that stay with you.
