For her, the boundaries between entertainment and stance blur – nothing is trivial, everything carries weight. Rarely are the socio-political themes of our time articulated so comprehensively as in her lyrics.
“In my music, I can be everything I am. Without false shame and rotten compromises. Here I am wild and angry and loving and vulnerable, and here I can completely give myself to the moment and to those who share these songs with me – who feel the same as I do and who meet me in my world. There, where we recognize each other again,” Sarah Lesch looks forward to her upcoming tour.
When Sarah Lesch packs her ukulele and guitar along with strong and touching stories into her tour suitcase, the audience is guaranteed to get their money's worth. On stage, she unites folk, punk, and profound storytelling. There is something for everyone here. Whether intimate, ballad-like folk gems, smart analyses of contemporary historical developments, or political action recommendations - SARAH LESCH's great strength is and remains the stylistic range and intimacy she effortlessly creates. Relatable and captivating, with a lot of goosebump factor, with new and old songs!
With her song “Testament,” she reached a million audience. Her lyrics urgently pinpoint socio-political issues, and her social media channels are impetus for important discourses. This unmistakable blend of plain speaking and poetry is also reflected in her new program.
