Michael Krebs - Optimism - now heavily discounted

With songs full of grooving musicality and clever lyrics, Michael Krebs has been captivating his audience for over 20 years. Experiencing how openly, straightforwardly, and wittily the songwriter approaches his concerts brings a big grin to your face and makes it clear: the live stage is his element. However, even this notoriously cheerful guy at the piano has his doubts. Is his once-praised authenticity still acceptable in times of survival-of-the-fakest? Why does everyone think of belly, legs, and butt when they hear the word "problem area," but no one thinks of the brain? Where to emigrate when the right-wingers are everywhere? And above all: is the future even a solution anymore?

Fortunately, no one expects an answer to such complex questions, thanks to the attention spans shredded by TikTok. Maybe Michael Krebs will still provide one. As long as we can laugh together about ourselves, pessimism is not an option. You don’t have to be the brightest light in the darknet to realize that.

"I no longer believe in humanity, but I still believe in humanity," says Michael Krebs. And so, his concerts are not ones that let you forget the world outside for two hours. Much better: they allow you to see the world with different eyes. And that feels good. So good that you have to exaggerate to avoid lying.
