Rainer Glienke mit Jo Müller zwischen Bob Dylan und Rio Reiser

Rainer Glienke has been performing in the region for many years as a guitarist, singer, and singer-songwriter—solo, in a duo, in a trio, or with his own band. Sometimes acoustic, sometimes electric; sometimes soft, sometimes loud; sometimes tender, sometimes angry—he observes critically but without lecturing, and always with depth and conviction. He has a voice with rough edges that really sticks in your mind.
Glienke cites Bob Dylan and Rio Reiser as major influences on his own songwriting. He has occasionally included their songs in his concert setlists. For example, at the “Wegwarte,” there was once an entire “DaDaLaMa” concert featuring Bob Dylan songs in German, which thrilled the audience, as did the Glienke/Müller duo’s concert there in April of this year. Glienke interprets Bob Dylan with the same linguistic sensibility that characterizes his own lyrics and songs.

His similarities—at times in both vocal style and lyrical content—to Rio Reiser (Ton Steine Scherben), which some concertgoers and critics point out, open the door in this current duo project to perhaps lesser-known tracks that remain as relevant as ever—or are even becoming increasingly so.

Rainer Glienke is accompanied by Jo Müller, who has been his friend on keyboards for over 15 years in the band DaDaLaMa.
Within the musical triangle of Dylan–Glienke–Reiser, the project promises an evening in an intimate atmosphere, with quieter moments alternating with energizing tracks, all featuring varied instrumentation and arrangements.
