A look at the musical kitchen
Blaudzun explains: ‘Last year I worked on a new album in the studio. The songs are almost all ready and I really want to share them on stage and play them live. I miss the contact and interaction with my audience. Within the Covid restrictions we have looked for a safe concert form that fits this phase and a new chapter. Together with my partly new band I give a glimpse into my musical kitchen. I want to take the audience on my journey from song writing, recording and rehearsal to performing live on stage. Origin, creation, development.”
After a period of relative silence, Blaudzun made an impression on radio and TV in recent months with his new single REAL HERO. The first track from his latest album Lonely City Exit Wound, due out this year! The song was Topsong on Radio 2. During the Backstage Sessions, Blaudzun also plays older work, but especially many new songs that have never been heard live before. “The concerts are not try-outs for something that will take place in final form later. But visitors do see and hear a musical performance in the making’, says Blaudzun. “It can happen that I start a song over again, or that I try a different version of a song in a different line-up with a different arrangement. The public is free to ask questions.”
