It was a joy to play my concert in Toronto with so many of my friends coming out! I really appreciate your support!
The biggest compliment that I got (on that evening, but maybe ever) was that I connect with the audience. Of course, it is my goal to touch people with my music. I hope that they can relate to the struggle, the pain, the love, the joy, the hope that I address in my songs. I have heard from individual people that they did, but it was new to me that there was an atmosphere of connection that enveloped the whole room. I am very grateful for this experience and feedback. I had been especially nervous about making mistakes because I didn't practice as much as I usually do in the days leading up to the concert due to a canoe trip. It reminds me that the mistakes don't matter so much. It reminds me to prioritise presence over perfection.
Thanks to Tapestry for having me and to Rueshi for opening!
If you like my music, please consider coming to a concert. I really appreciate your support!
I had a great time playing at Café Clementina in Waterloo on May 30. For the first time, I accomapnied myself on four different instruments: piano, guitar, ukulele, and mandolin. Many thanks to the team of Café Clementina for this opportunity and to everyone who came to listen!
This marks the start of the concert season for me. My next concert is at Tapestry, Toronto on August 4. It will be my last concert in Canada for now. One week later, I will be flying back to Germany. Back home, I have two public concerts lined up: Bootshafensommer in Kiel on July 15 and Palette54 in Kappeln on July 17.
Where should I play next? Write your city in the contact form.
As a small artist, it would help me immensely if you could stream the song on your favourite listening platform. Thank you for your support!
