The Jamie McLean Band combines roots rock, southern soul, New Orleans funk, delta blues, and a healthy dose of New York swagger into an energetic and captivating sound that speaks directly to the heart and legs. With their electrifying stage presence, powerful vocals, virtuosic guitar playing, and strong songs, the band delights audiences worldwide.
Jamie McLean is a true musical jack-of-all-trades: he has shared the stage with legends like Gregg Allman, Aaron Neville, Derek Trucks, Dr. John, Taj Mahal, Johnny Winter, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Los Lobos, Blues Traveler, and Marc Broussard – from the legendary Madison Square Garden arena to the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. His soulful voice, honest songwriting, and stage presence turn every concert into an unforgettable experience.
On their Europe tour 2025, the band will present their brand-new album "One Step Forward" (Harmonized Records), recorded at the renowned Grand Street Studios in Brooklyn, New York, and produced by Ken Coomer (Wilco). The album showcases the band at the peak of their creative output with songs like the summer anthem "Summer of Who Knows When," the rock track "Too Little Too Late," or the soulful love song "Calendar Girl."
A special highlight of the tour is the addition of guitarist Ben Forrester from New York, known for his work with international blues, soul, and Americana artists.
A must-see for all fans of handcrafted American music!

"AUTHENTISCHKEIT" the only true satire evening with Florian Hacke
It’s always said "Just be yourself!" - but what if you yourself are just tired mediocrity? "Authenticity" is not only hard to spell but also often the beginning of a lifelong disappointment. For everyone! Florian Hacke has also really tried for a long time to "simply be himself" while simultaneously respecting his fellow human beings, but with three small children there’s simply no energy left for long-term life lies. That’s why he now relies on unbelievable honesty and offers the world a low-threshold opportunity: He does not actively prevent anyone from thinking the best of him, but if you ask him honestly, he can guarantee nothing. Be there too - live, real, without a filter. "Authentischkeit" is your chance to be the wreck that stares back at you every morning from the bathroom mirror for one evening. Without pressure. Without expectations. But with sparkling wine. So you can later say: "Oh, in comparison, I’m not doing so badly after all!"

Go away! Don’t come! Please stop reading immediately!

This is going to be the worst tour of all time – for everyone who doesn't understand fun! If you do, it could actually be quite okay. The Queen of Nonsense is back, and she’s funnier than… well… funnier than moss, for example.
And between us: Moss can actually be funny. Cats too. Mirja has one now. Although, let’s be honest: The cat now has a Mirja. And how sweet this Mirja always tries to hide the “gifts” she brings before the kids.
By the way, the kids are now so big that Mirja is back in puberty too. Which, of course, is a huge advantage in terms of generational communication. This allows Mirja, as the perfect pubescent mother, to empathize with the emotional world of her hormone-fueled kids. Oh no, she has boys. Bummer. But hey! She’s doing everything to go down in history as the world’s most uncool mom.

There’s great music again. And the Honkey Donkeys are joining too. Note: Please be careful! As she gets older, Mrs. Boes is losing her empathy more and more often. She now says things like: “We all need to have less musts” or “You also have to let go sometimes. Even when little angels fly.” And very often she waves back at people, even though they weren’t meant for her at all. So please come to the program and take care of her before the old lady completely loses it.

Thank you.

"All real."
A proverb says that humor is the hole through which truth whistles. And Quichotte sits down with a mischievous grin, placing his teapot with hope, waiting for it to start whistling at full speed. Because if there is one thing that often falls by the wayside in many respects, it's the truth. He's had enough of that, and decides to peel off the embellished mask of artificial sociability. Armed with brand new songs and stories, and in the best freestyle mood, Quichotte sets off to teach the fake a lesson.

Coming to his aid is his favorite baker, who never holds back.

Once again, a colorful and entertaining stage show unfolds, where the audience can always count on one thing: everything here is real.

Can you seriously get a doctorate in pop music? Yes! And what do you do with it? Comedy and cabaret. Dr. Pop is a doctor for everything musical. He is established in radio, TV, online, and on stage. He treats with music samples and curious but completely true music facts. Did you know that termites eat through wood twice as fast when they listen to heavy metal? Or that there is a Barry White effect in evolutionary theory? The deeper the male's voice, the greater the chances of mating. This applies to both humans and koala bears.

In Dr. Pop's live show, music plays that can save a party, a relationship, or the motivation for sports. Whether pop, rock, classical, schlager, jazz, hip-hop, rap, Dr. Pop fires off familiar but also unknown samples from music history. And by the end of the show, everyone in the audience knows how to enrich their own life with music a little more.

In "Hitverdächtig – Der musikalische Jahresrückblick," Dr. Pop dissects the musical highs and lows of the year. Which music shaped the year? Why did a concert by Beyoncé increase inflation in Sweden? What new, everyday helpful music studies have been released? And why is it that to this day, a Christmas song is the best-selling song in music history? Dr. Pop has the right hit for each question!
