Line-Up:
5:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.: LAVENDER BLOOM
LAVENDER BLOOM is the name of the music project by Bremen-based singer-songwriter Jana Otten, who makes authentic indie-folk with a lot of heart and a unique voice. At the beginning of 2023, she released her first self-produced EP “Far Up North – Acoustic Live Session” on Bandcamp, in which longing, melancholic melodies meet lyrics that tell of a journey to the far north of Norway, the flight of the cranes or forgotten dreams.

6:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.: PARKER DOPE
Parker Dope is a versatile artist who impresses with his unique musical skills and profound lyrics. As a singer, rapper and producer, he brings a holistic approach to his music and takes over every phase of the creative process himself. From the composition of the beats to the final mix – everything is created in his own artistic hand. Parker Dope sees his music as a means of recognizing problems and finding solutions through creative forms of expression. His works are often described as word art because they convey complex, thoughtful and emotional content. At the same time, many of his songs have a political note that addresses social issues and injustices.

7:45 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.: LATURB
LATURB are the most brutal proof that the new wave and synth-pop revival of the recent past was urgently needed. You’ll want to have these three cuties as your new best friends if you’ve only attended one of their live shows. These are a wild ride on 80s synthesizers and punky guitar riffs, carried by punchy rhythm machines and the exceptional voices of the unequal singers. In addition to catchy hooklines, the two also throw themselves into breakneck anarcho acrobatics and ignite one surprise grenade after the next. Trash and treasures galore, before the Bremen trio leaves us highly emotionalized in a rain of confetti – for shock-loving!
