Purple Schulz - Ich hab nicht ewig Zeit

- The Seventieth Birthday Tour -
PURPLE SCHULZ turns seventy. So what? He keeps going. Makes music. Hits the road.

"Ich hab nicht ewig Zeit" is the title of his new programme. No complaints, no looking back, no farewell. Just a clear statement. And the soundtrack to a decision: Do it now!

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 crises, engages with social questions and has lost nothing of its urgency to this day.

Even his familiar songs sound different now: denser, clearer, more immediate.

The new programme builds on this. It's about tempo and pause, about noise and clarity, about the personal in the political - and vice versa.

An evening with conviction, humour and substance.

PURPLE SCHULZ connects the intimate with the universal, the vulnerable with the steadfast. He doesn't sing about time - he questions it.

Musically he remains unpredictably agile, moving effortlessly between pop, chanson and chamber music at the keyboard. And on the 22-string Harpejji - a hybrid of piano and guitar - a sound emerges that works immediately: clear, close, unmistakable. An instrument you hear rarely and never forget.

On guitar: Norman Keil. For many years active as 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 something: to invite listening, to provoke thought, to move hearts.

An evening with conviction. And songs that endure.
