John Lennon and Paul McCartney – what can and should one write about this perhaps most famous and successful collaboration in music history?

James and Phil Newton want to honor this great songwriting duo with "Two of Us." They play songs from almost every conceivable phase of Lennon and McCartney's joint work, including well-known and less famous pieces, world hits, and smaller, but no less sparkling gems. Never has the agony of choice been greater, as what does one do when simply every song is brilliant?

And what actually characterizes this musical relationship – in all its love, friendship, but of course also rivalry? Phil and James will also engage with this, as well as with the history of the Beatles – with Phil Newton being a true Liverpudlian on stage who has witnessed the Beatles from the very beginning.

Above all, James and Phil want to celebrate and honor the music of these two icons together with the audience, well aware that each of us connects our own stories and emotions with it.

Phil Newton is a musician, originally from Liverpool, and, as should be expected, grew up in the 60s with the music of the Beatles. It is therefore not surprising that his son James, who grew up in Munich and is an actor and long-time member of the Metropoltheater ensemble, also has a love for music and the Beatles in his blood.

Now both stand together on stage and let their musical passion flow: "Two of Us" - Newton/Newton bows to Lennon/McCartney.

"The sing-along classics 'Hey Jude', 'Let It Be', and 'All You Need Is Love' hadn't been played yet either. With them and a lump in the throat, the dramaturgically and musically convincing evening – from the mastery of the guitar through the arrangements to the impressively strong duets – finally came to an end. Haven’t seen a more successful Beatles tribute in a long time." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

"Something is happening here, but you don’t know what it is."

This was probably how the parents felt at the interrupted school concert in Hibbing in 1959, the guests at Cafe Wha? in 1961, the visitors at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, and many who have ever experienced the musical phenomenon Bob Dylan live.

Daniel Holzberg takes us on a kaleidoscopic journey of impressions: songs, lyrics, prophecies, anecdotes, and statements of an iconic artist who has captivated his fans as often as he has evaded their expectations.

"Don't Think Twice" leads us from Dylan’s beginnings in folk music through the sudden turn (perhaps also return) to rock 'n' roll to his status as one of the most versatile songwriters of our time. And it addresses the most important questions: What influence did he have at a very young age on the music of the 60s, what did he mean to many people from that era, and what significance was imposed upon him - the mouthpiece of a generation, a prophet, a threat to society, a biod farmer?

All "truths" about Bob Dylan will be viewed from different perspectives that remain elastic - after an Oscar and a Nobel Prize in Literature, the legendary musician indeed wins the prize of elusiveness.

What is tangible, however, is Daniel's love for Dylan’s vivid lyrics and catchy songs, where it's not about copying but rather about an attempt at spiritual contact with this extraordinary phenomenon of the music business.

In total, he plays 20 songs (from over 800 possible!), will lament the world with Dylan-esque disillusionment, and will also pay homage to his idols, companions, and critics, including Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Allen Ginsberg, Mr. Jones, and of course Woody Guthrie.

"The accompaniment to the songs is perfect, as Daniel Holzberg, born in 1941, simultaneously masters the harmonica, acoustic guitar, and using his foot to play the percussion." (Donaukurier)
