Between folk, indie, Americana and acoustic songwriting, evenings with changing artists, personal stories and a direct atmosphere are created.

The sessions are moderated by Marie-Sophie Kanske (Sea of Love) and are aimed at experienced musicians as well as new voices from the scene. Entrance is free, donations go entirely to the performing artists:innen.

Musicians: Women who want to perform themselves can contact Marie with a short biography, 1-2 photos and links to audio/video material.

Stefan Kurzmann

"Es gab da mal eine Band (Elektrik Farm), für die schrieb ich Songs und dann wurden die von Schlagzeug, Bass und Elektrischer Gitarre verstärkt und durch die Mangel gedreht, sodass am Ende kleine Monster entstanden, deren Aussehen und Superkräfte ich im Vorhinein nie erahnen konnte.
Die Band ist Geschichte, aber die kleinen Monster wollen immer noch in die Welt. Was braucht ein Song? Wer braucht noch Songs? Die Welt ist voll.
Mein Kopf auch. Eine Gitarre und eine merkwürdige Stimme sind vielleicht die verlässlichsten Komplizen, um diesen eigensinnigen Wesen ein paar Beine und komische Frisuren zu verpassen"

Tobi Orobko

Tobi Orobko is a Dresden musician who fronted local alternative rock band 'Golden Hirsch' and who currently sings with vocal harmony super-group 'The Shampoo Nightingales'. Tobi has amassed a wealth of songs over the years, some originals and some cover arrangements which have featured at various Shampoo Shows Benefit Concerts over recent years. Tobi and his Golden Hirsch crew have recently re-visited their debut album and re-recorded it and this should be finished soon but for now he's going to be performing solo, which is new and exciting, but with one or two special guests along the way thrown in for good measure it promises to be a musical treat for all'
