Wenzel & Band - Die Zeit der Irren und Idioten

In the grey morning hours, between doubts and weariness, songs find their final form. The world is out of joint. On the wounds of our hope, melodies and words search for the right place. Songs carried by gentle and determined tones of guitars, bass, accordion, brass instruments, drums and piano play in the unrepeatable hours of concerts to dance. Celebrating life as a victory against destruction, against wars and demagoguery. Music is a faithful companion in this.

Wenzel remains true to himself and cares neither for pigeonholes nor fashionable posturing. His work draws from an apparently inexhaustible source. In recent years, Wenzel has surprised with many CD productions. New, unpublished songs, musical settings of texts by Johannes R. Becher, Christoph Hein, Theodor Kramer, Woody Guthrie. Melancholic, full of life, subversive, warm-hearted, cynical, delicate and direct. Wenzel remains a refugee from the demands of the world. With bittersweet irony, he defies the rough sea. A lover who never loved by halves and never played softly with his fool's bells, one who gives and takes with full hands, a sage on whose ark eternal couples embrace: happiness and anger, love and time, flight and shelter, moment and epoch. First and last day.

Wenzel is an author, composer, musician, singer, actor and director. Tours have taken him through France, Austria, America, Nicaragua, Cuba, Turkey and other countries. Wenzel has survived many honours: the Golden Amiga, the Heinrich Heine Prize, the German Kleinkunstpreis, the Prize of German Record Criticism, and the Prize of the Song Bestseller List.
