Purple Schulz - Die Tour zum Siebzigsten - Ich hab nicht ewig Zeit

PURPLE SCHULZ is turning seventy. So what? He carries on. Makes music. Goes on tour. "I Don't Have Forever" is the title of his new programme. No complaints, no looking back, no farewell. Just a clear statement.

His songs have accompanied generations - among them hits like "Sehnsucht", "Verliebte Jungs" and "Kleine Seen". But PURPLE SCHULZ is more than his successes. His repertoire portrays personal fractures, engages with social questions and has lost none of its urgency to this day. Even familiar songs sound different now: denser, clearer, more immediate. The new programme builds on this.

It's about pace and stillness, about noise and clarity, about the private in the political - and vice versa. An evening with conviction, humour and substance. PURPLE SCHULZ connects intimacy with universality, vulnerability with steadfastness. He doesn't sing about time - he questions it. Musically he remains unpredictably fluid, switching effortlessly on the keyboard between pop, chanson and chamber-music density.

On the 22-string Harpejji - a cross between piano and guitar - a sound emerges that takes immediate effect: clear, close, unmistakable. An instrument you rarely hear and never forget.

On guitar: Norman Keil. For many years a songwriter and musician on German stages, he brings timing, presence and a fine sense of dynamics, lending the songs additional depth and energy. No nostalgia, no looking back. Just an evening that wants to achieve something: invite listeners in, prompt reflection, move hearts. An evening with conviction. And songs that endure.
