Dear Fellow-Musicians
During my last visit home to Germany, I was fortunate to hear 3 kids play and sing on a tv program called ON3-Südwild, and I was very impressed with their lyrics, harmonies and musicianship.
So, always looking for something to keep myself occupied, I got in contact with them and we got to know each other through e-mails and phone calls.
During one of those calls, the pianist/leader told me that their greatest wish is to debut here in the USA. Specifically, New York City (naturally, right?).
Well, I told him I didn’t think I could help with sleepless town, but I’d see what I could do here in Atlanta.
Unfortunately the only venue which came to mind is Eddie’s Attic, a place where I played back in the 90’s for only one night - just filling in. I have e-mailed them and plan to follow up with a call next week.
My reason for this post is to ask y’all for any other suggestions of venues for me to try and get them a gig. Their site is here and you can listen under the “Musik” page to get a feel for their style.
Dondra and I will provide their lodging and food, Florian will be using my keyboard and he and Mark will both use a couple of my amps. They’ll be responsible for their own airfare.
I appreciate any help, and of course drinks are on me for any of you who want to come and have a mini-Dopefest on any of the gig-nights.
Thanks
Quasi
