Musik Boehmer In Southern Germany Aug. 1St And 2Nd

[Stefan]

This weekend I´ll be playing in the southern part of Germany with my One-Man-Band: Musik Boehmer and his Concertina from Hell.

I play mostly Rock and Pop classics on a Maccann Duet, with the help of guitar effects, a looper and a selfbuild stompbox.

If you wonder how that looks like, here is a Youtube video http://youtu.be/k3Asf1a7VEE

 

Friday Aug. 1st Scruffy´s Irish Pub, Karlsruhe (I don´t play ITM though, sorry)

Saturday Aug. 2nd Gaggtivel, musicfestival in Gaggenau (near Baden-Baden)

 

It would be great to meet some concertina players.

Good luck Stefan. No need to apologise for not playing ITM !

[Stefan]

Thanks Rod, I just thought it looks strange to play with a concertina in an Irish Pub and not play Irish Music (which I admire by the way).

Maybe you can get a friend to take some videos to post on YouTube?

 

Don.

Hi Don, I´d like to post some videos on Youtube, but since I play mostly coversongs there is the copyright issue. So it wouldn´t be legal and in Germany they are quite strict about that. Some of the songs that people seem to enjoy most: Billie Jean, Like a Rolling Stone, Strawberry Fields forever, Everlong (Foo Fighters), and - by the way - Roslyn Castle (a traditional, so no copyright) which was tune of the month in July 2013!

Great video!

 

I'd love to see you in person, but this is rather short notice. Right now there are nearly 2000 km between us, and I already have other plans for the weekend.

 

How about further-in-advance notice of future gigs?

[Stefan]

Thanks Jim! Ha - 2000 km - that´s a bit of a distance. But how about me coming to Denmark? It´s kind of hard to find gigs abroad from here, especially because this project is quite new. Maybe someone has some connections? If I could cover some of my expenses by playing some gigs, I´d be very happy to visit your lovely country. I´ve been there only once at the JazzyDays Festival in Tversted (as a bassplayer), that was great.

 

On my website are all my upcoming gigs: http://www.musikboehmer.de/

or if you search for "Musik Böhmer" on Facebook

 

I plan on playing in Lübeck in Oktober, it´s not sure yet. Lübeck is in the north of Germany.

Excellent sound and video production. Nice dancer too.

Actually, it's only 1000 to where I live in Denmark, but at the moment I'm 1000 km north of there, in Sweden.

 

As for gigs, I'll be happy to promote you if/when I get the chance, but with other pressures in my life I don't know when I might manage to locate and contact appropriate folks.

 

More another day. Right now I have to check with my friend (who is milking her cow) about tonight's berry picking. Then in the morning it's off to a festival even farther north than where I am now.
