SUMMARY:"mittwochs immer" - Singer/Songwriter Konzert - Die Weisse Rose  
DESCRIPTION:VarleyIrish singer and songwriter Claire-Ann Varley has been surrounded by music from veryearly on in her life. Growing up in Dublin\, she got in touch with the local music scenethrough her father\, who played guitar in various bands. Being raised with folk\, blues andthe heritage of old traditionals\, she soon picked up the guitar for herself and began tofiddle around with first chords and melodies. It didn‘t take long until she wrote songs of herown: „It gave me the chance to express myself\, like an honest way of communication withthe world“\, Claire-Ann says today.At the age of twenty-six\, after several gigs of her own in and around Dublin\, playing mainlyacoustic folk music\, Claire-Ann felt that it was time for her to make a change.Intrigued by the idea of getting in touch with electronic sounds in music and incorporatingthese new and exciting soundscapes into her own songs\, she decided to move to Berlin:„There were all these young and interesting artists coming up\, who added something totheir music\, that I hadn‘t heard before. And I wanted to explore that in my own music\, too.“\,she says.In Berlin it didn‘t take long until she met Matze Heising and Joschka Bender\, twomusicians from Germany. Together they began to write songs\, and very soon it becameclear\, that there was a mutual understanding of what each of them wanted in their music\,and that the musical vision of Claire-Ann was more than similar to Matze‘s and Joschka‘s.In the summer of 2017 the trio then started to play shows in the bars and on the rooftopsof Berlin to get a feel for the new songs and sounds. Soon they decided that it was theright time to make first recordings. Moving all their instruments and mobile-studioequipment to a shed in the countryside\, they spent two weeks on arranging\, recording andfinalizing their debut-EP „Roamer“.The five songs it features explore the themes of „trying to navigate your way throughadulthood and how some of these transitions aren‘t always easy“\, Claire-Ann says aboutthe lyrics. She writes about her reality in a world that can make you feel like it‘s turningfaster than ever\, and how that can become overwhelming sometimes.Claire-Ann’s vocals are embedded by warm acoustic guitars\, mellow synths\, earthy drumsand ethereal pedal steel guitar sounds.On „Roamer“ the band manages to make music that is deeply rooted in a classical singersongwriterand folk background but at the same time never sounds dated. There is alwaysthat certain dash of nonconformity with the rules of these genres\; a darker take on thewhole thing\, at times more quirky and eerie than you‘d expect\, then again taking a turninto the more straight realms of music. SommerkindSommerkind ist ein Duo\, bestehend aus Carmen Eder (Sängerin und Liedermacherin) undGerhard Schmitt (Gitarrist und Liedermacher).Carmen Eder ist eine quirlige Künstlerin\, die mit klarer Stimme singt\, was sie betörendehrlich (auf Deutsch) zu Papier gebracht hat. Seit sie Gerhard Schmitt kennt\, wird auch inBerlin fleißig an Liedern geschrieben\, welche in melancholische und sehnsüchtigeGedankenwelten zwischen Illusion und Realität entführen. Gerhard Schmitt\, nun auchoffiziell die zweite Hälfte des Duos\, spielt dabei mit Sounds aus Pop und Folk und ergänztdie gemütliche Liedermacher-Atmosphäre durch pure\, weiche Gitarrenklänge.
