With his new album "Der Teufel nimmt nur Bares" (released July 02.07.2021, XNUMX – Timezone Records), Micha Schlüter delves into diverse soundscapes, blending elements from various genres. Garage-punk folk songs meet dark piano bar music. Trashy percussion, banjo, electric guitars with tremolo effects and reverb, accordion, xylophone, and raw, expressive lyrics create a rich atmosphere and a captivating arc of tension. An edgy sound that oscillates between desert and road, vintage and zeitgeist, pub and funfair.
Micha Schlüter learned his craft at the State University of Music in Trossingen, where he studied classical guitar. He performs live in various formations, including as a one-man band and in a duo with theater actor and musician Christian Wolfgang Steiner, as well as with singer-songwriter Florijan van der Holz.
In 2012, he founded the Feierabendkollektiv with his musician friend Max Francois, which has garnered a stir, particularly through the annual "Vive la Vie Festival" in Stuttgart. In addition to songwriting, he is also the frontman of the band "bellalebwohl." (Radio Stuttgart, EP, 2020, Timezone Records)
