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

PURPLE SCHULZ turns seventy. And? He carries on. Makes music. Goes on tour.

"Ich hab nicht ewig Zeit" (I don't have forever) is the title of the new programme. No complaints, no looking back, no farewell. Instead, 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 captures personal ruptures, engages with social questions and has lost none of its urgency to this day. The familiar songs sound different now: denser, clearer, more immediate.

The new programme builds on this. It is 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 the intimate with the universal, the vulnerable with the steadfast. He does not sing about time - he questions it. Musically, he remains unpredictably fluid, moving effortlessly on the keyboard between pop, chanson and chamber music density. And on the 22-string Harpejji - a cross between piano and guitar - a sound emerges that works immediately: clear, close, unmistakable. An instrument you rarely hear and never forget.

On guitar: Norman Keil. For many years he has worked as a songwriter and musician on German stages, bringing timing, presence and a fine sense of dynamics, lending the songs additional depth and energy. No nostalgia, no looking back. Instead, an evening that wants something: to invite listening, to prompt reflection, to move to compassion.
An evening with conviction. And songs that endure.
