Songs & Stories live Teil 2 - The Greatest Hits and Their Stories - New Programme and New Songs!

A new programme with new songs!

A journey through the backstories of great world hits, packed with surprising and entertaining anecdotes. Individually curated for each show: live acoustic performances of songs by Sting, The Police, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, U2, Eric Clapton, Cyndi Lauper, Stevie Wonder, Oasis, Supertramp, Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkel, The Eagles, Amy Winehouse and many more.

In the mid-90s, everyone knew and sang "Wonderwall" by Oasis. But how many people actually knew what it was about? The melodies of famous songs are familiar to most - the stories behind them, far less so. To many ears, Sting's "Every Breath You Take" sounds like a love song, yet it describes an obsessive stalker. Why do some songs stay relevant for decades? What does a yellow taxi have to do with environmentalism? What is Bono from U2 still searching for? Which unknown woman inspired three separate world hits? What really set Bruce Springsteen "on fire"? And can you really check into the "Hotel California" at any time?

Manni Müller (drums, vocals) and Stephan Weiser (piano, vocals) present fresh acoustic interpretations of world hits from the past few decades, along with the stories behind them - sometimes funny, sometimes reflective, sometimes genuinely startling. And often strikingly relevant in their social commentary. The press calls it: "A unique musical journey!"

"A TRIBUTE TO THE GREATEST"

An evening with "songs & stories live" plays like the soundtrack to the lives of those who were born or grew up in the 70s, 80s, 90s or the 2000s. A trip back to youth, when favourite songs marked whole chapters of life and left their emotional mark. Melodies that lifted spirits or brought comfort - and still resonate today.

In an intimate two-piece setting, Manni Müller uses his remarkably versatile voice to capture the specific mood and sonic character of the original recordings.
