Volkwin Müller & Uli Kringler - Live im Kulturhaus (CD)

In 2024, Volkwin Müller can look back exactly 25 years since he played his first solo show in front of an audience after several years in a band and a break from the stage.
This was followed by various solo programs and numerous concerts, three solo albums under his own name, and a Lennon tribute album with new interpretations of Lennon songs, illustrious musical guests such as Purple Schulz, Julian Dawson, and Klaus Weiland, as well as artwork by Beatles friend Klaus Voormann. Numerous concerts were played throughout Germany, Switzerland, and France (including Paris).
In 2016, Hamburg guitarist and producer Uli Kringler and Volkwin Müller met and began working on the songs for Volkwin's album »Mit anderen Augen«, which was released at the end of 2016 and for which the world-famous graphic designer and two-time Grammy winner Klaus Voormann contributed the artwork.

In 2020, the album "Auf dem Weg," again produced by Uli Kringler, followed. It was nominated for the German Record Critics' Award.
Since 2016, the two have been playing concerts together on occasion, including in November at the 14th Blomberg Song Festival, where a recording of the concert came about completely spontaneously. "Since we hadn't even considered that the sound engineer would be recording, we played very casually and confidently and let ourselves fall into the songs. We enjoyed the resulting intensity and depth so much when we listened to it that we decided to release the concert on an album." The live album features several songs from Volkwin's three solo albums and a new version of the Springsteen classic "I'm on Fire."
You can feel the immense joy Uli Kringler and Volkwin Müller bring to their guitars. Uli's versatile talent on the guitar, his improvisational moments, and his tasteful use of playing that particularly serves the song, make the album a truly beautiful snapshot. Volkwin's voice is very warm, and he's a great guitarist. His songs form the foundation for a special musical atmosphere. At times, the two sound almost like a guitar orchestra, sweeping the audience along, only to play a deeply moving, intimate song the next moment.
Volkwin sings his poetic songs with a wonderful voice and subtle emotion in his sound. You can sense that this is someone who values ​​the harmony between heart and guitar. On this special concert evening, two people found each other, giving each other space to listen to each other and giving the song exactly the accompaniment it needs to shine.
