Concert: IC Falkenberg – Come Ashore

The new concert program is characterized by downbeats, Americana guitars, lo-fi ambiances, and ballad-like piano arrangements. IC FALKENBERG has delved deep into his treasure chest of repertoire and sings and plays not only his hits but also songs that have long been absent from his concerts. Of course, these songs also have exciting and amusing stories that need to be told. IC FALKENBERG looks back on a life where rebellion and self-assertion have always been the driving forces. And on a career as thrilling and eventful as contemporary history. Unfazed by the rules of the music business, IC FALKENBERG delivers multifaceted, atmospherically dense compositions with very clever lyrics; hardly any German singer writes in such an abstract and associative manner. A poet who sings here, in pieces that are stylistically far removed from ordinary rock songs. IC FALKENBERG combines an elegiac mood with literary ambition: IC FALKENBERG writes, sings, and plays piano and guitar, grappling with the big themes and drawing them into his real world beyond the excesses of party culture. And he takes a stand. Openly and without excuses. Over 54 years of stage presence and 28 albums speak for themselves, as does the musical diversity of FALKENBERG. IC FALKENBERG has been on stage since he was ten years old. In the 1980s, he was the singer, composer, and lyricist of Stern Meissen. He quickly rose to become one of the most successful and popular artists in East Germany under the stage name IC FALKENBERG in the mid-80s, selling over 250,000 copies of his first two solo albums during that time. The concerts of IC FALKENBERG are unique moments, their candid intimacy and touching melancholy interwoven with humorous stories. Despite his demanding themes, he maintains an unobtrusive lightness. He walks the fine line, sounding sensitive but never sentimental.
