In the organizer's words:

Steve Gunn at King Georg

Sometimes music needs distance to get close again. After three years, Steve Gunn returns to the King Georg - a venue that suits his way of making music: concentrated, unagitated, attentive to the moment. The concert on April 22 does not mark a caesura, but a continuation.

With Daylight, Daylight, his first studio album in four years, Gunn has recently presented a work that is dedicated to the quiet. The pieces seem like sketches that deliberately remain open. The album was created in close collaboration with James Elkington, who acts less as a producer in the classic sense than as a co-thinker. Strings, woodwinds and subtle electronic tracks appear without shifting the center: Guitar, voice, time.

Gunn's music moves between folk, experimental rock and free form, without ever seeming programmatic. It develops slowly, allows for repetition and trusts that attention will be rewarded. Live, the songs unfold their own logic - reduced, sometimes almost tentative, but always present.

At King Georg, this music is not exhibited, but shared. No big statement, no excess. Just a musician who listens while he plays.
