In the organizer's words:

RUHMER writes songs like Polaroids - coarse-grained, honest and with a glimmer of melancholy and exuberance.

Between retro-soul, modern rock and introspective pop, he finds a sound that seems familiar and yet constantly surprises - somewhere between living room and outer space, between Beck's irony, British attitude and the pathos of Paolo Nutini.

Verses, told in rhythmic phrases that flow rather than rhyme, meet choruses that sound like sunsets and wide open roads.

RUHMER brings big emotions to accessible stages - and always remains charmingly laconic:
"never too serious", but always with a full heart.

With his new album The Masterplan, he is on tour through German-speaking countries in 2026 - and will be stopping at Freiraum overseas.
