Hamburgs Blues & Rock Night
Blues and rock icons live
The »Hamburg Blues Rock Night« celebrates the best of blues and rock – a stronghold of musical tradition, specially designed for fans with a passion for honest sound and living history. In 2024, it already attracted enthusiastic audiences to Hamburg; in 2025, it will cause a sensation in Cologne, Hanover, Hamburg and Lüneburg.
The evening’s performers are none other than vocal prodigy Jessy Martens and the virtuoso sounds of Georg Schroeter on the piano, accompanied by Marc Breitfelder’s masterful harmonica, Kalle Reuter’s delicate guitar playing and Martin Röttger’s precise rhythm work. They all share a dedication to music and the ability to touch people of all generations. A special surprise guest takes the evening to a new level and adds an extra dimension to the already impressive line-up.
Deep blues that touches the soul and powerful rock that gets the blood pumping characterise this fantastic production. A repertoire that includes hits that have grown over decades – from »Great Balls of Fire« and »Proud Mary« to modern classics. You know it’s going to be an unforgettable evening when the first chords of »Good Morning Blues« fill the room. Real magic is created during »Motherless Child« when Jessy Martens raises her voice. The voluminous, powerful vocals merge into an impressive harmony that goes through the heart and soul and gives you goosebumps.
These and other deep, resonating sounds carry the promise of the blues – honest and unadulterated – and give the concert a real bang. The »Hamburg Blues Rock Night« impresses with a masterful production: the selected musicians promise quality, the selection of pieces is a testament to finesse, and the interplay on stage is a revelation. The audience experiences a rare combination of talent and passion, crowned by a musical performance that makes hearts beat faster.
