Stefan Saffer, a singer/songwriter with a distinctive raspy voice from Leipzig, has been one of Germany's most authentic musicians for years when it comes to American roots rock, country, bluegrass, and folk, as well as punk-tinged rock 'n' roll. Appreciated and praised by international musicians and local colleagues alike, he consistently delivers emotional, musically exciting, top-notch performances on his five CD releases to date, as well as over 5 live performances per year – every night, with every damn song!
It doesn't matter whether Stefan Saffer performs his songs solo, soulfully, acoustically, or rocking wildly with his congenial backing band, the Silvertones. The 49-year-old has been "road-tested" through years of touring throughout Germany and Europe, as well as through performances in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and numerous clubs along the New Jersey coast. In his songs, Stefan Saffer writes about this very life on the road, about dark, endless nights, loneliness, sin and forgiveness, but also, of course, about the great mysteries of love.
Seeing himself in the tradition of singer/songwriters like Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie, Joe Strummer, and Bruce Springsteen, Stefan Saffer doesn't shy away from "political songs" in which he repeatedly denounces the injustices of our society. These stories are conveyed in an exciting mix of fiery Americana roots rock 'n' roll, dark folk, and dusty country and blues.
