Todd Thibaud Band - Ein US-Meister des Songrocks

Todd Thibaud from Boston/Massachusetts began his career in the early 1990s. Even then, he impressed with catchy, melodic harmony songs and a refined pop guitar sound. With his solo debut "Favorite Waste Of Time," he was able to further establish himself. His sensitive, appealing vocals, the tasty guitar runs, and a relaxed prairie rock punch have made Thibaud a master representative of classic singer/songwriter music. Drawing inspiration from colleagues like Elvis Costello, Neil Finn, Johnny Cash, and John Hiatt, he has developed his own voice over the years in the broad field of Americana, folk, country, and roots pop 'n' rock. Now he comes for the last time with a band to Germany! He especially wants to emphasize the word ROCK, as he will additionally strap on an electric guitar alongside his long-time companion on lead guitar, Thomas Juliano. Sean Staples plays the mandolin, along with bass and drums, and the rock machine is ready.

José González - "Against The Dying Of The Light“-Tour 2026

Since his last album Local Valley, a dramatic darkening of the world has occurred, which José González meets with an unvarnished truth in his songwriting, driven more than ever by an urgent, often frustrated, and even angry expression.
His focus is on fears revolving around technologies, but also on themes such as resistance to exclusionary ideologies and the need to recognize mindsets that he refers to as "unhelpful thinking."
Thus, his album draws equally from his personal beliefs as well as from artistic decisions.
He explains: “Against the Dying of the Light is a reflection on how we create hurdles to human flourishing by clinging stubbornly to dogmatic ideologies where people follow dudes who pretend to know shit they don’t know.
These are songs about how we can navigate humanity towards flourishing on an individual and a collective level. They can be listened to just for the sounds, harmonies, and rhythms, but the lyrics are meant to inspire people to engage and take action by collaborating to solve collective problems.”
It is known that José González spent large parts of his youth playing in a hardcore band, but less known is that he also sang in a choir. He recalls: “It was really fun. Not cool at all, but really fun. I learned the different scales and also a bit of vocal technique. It speaks to something deeply human – to stand together as 20 people, just singing – and now that I’m older I feel it’s time to embrace the universal aspects.”
Today, he enjoys, although an atheist, watching his partner sing and perform with a local indie church choir. And his new album could also be a powerful gathering point for a universal choir.
José González has undergone an impressive career over the years. With four solo albums in 23 years, he has sold over 1 million records, gathered well over a billion streams, achieved platinum status in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and has been awarded the Swedish Grammy for "Singer/Songwriter of the Year 2021" for his last album "Local Valley." In 2024, he was inducted into the Swedish Music Hall of Fame.
On May 27, José González will perform with his new album Against The Dying Of The Light (released on March 27 via City Slang) at the Mojo Club. It will be very very beautiful – promise.

Judith Tellado & Paulo Pereira Trio – GALEGO - Singer-Songwriter Konzert

Latin American flair and refined compositions by two special songwriters: Puerto Rican singer Judith Tellado and German-Portuguese saxophonist Paulo Pereira present songs from their joint album "GALEGO". Judith Tellado sings in Spanish, Portuguese, or English, with lyrics that she has written to Paulo Pereira's compositions: pieces that speak of longing for Lisbon, cast a glance across the Atlantic to Brazil, or recount hot nights over the rooftops of Boston. With their trio, the two authors showcase a musically diverse range, as the songs span from the Latin American sounds of Samba, Bossa Nova, and Calypso to spirited swinging jazz.
The program is rounded off with songs from Judith Tellado's latest album "Yerba Mala," which has been highly praised by the press and with which the singer has already been seen live on the ZDF morning magazine.
The variety of instruments and sounds that the trio brings to the stage is also impressive: Judith Tellado is both a singer and percussionist. At times she brushes the swinging jazz snare, while at other times she plays the güiro, a traditional instrument from her Caribbean homeland, in a classic salsa manner. Paulo Pereira switches between tenor and soprano saxophone as well as the flute. Georg Sheljasov can be heard on the piano for some pieces and on acoustic guitar for others.

Press reviews of "Galego":
“Latin swing meets a relaxed jazz atmosphere and refreshingly vibrant, funky pop appeal conveys lyrically wise insights.” – SCHALL Magazine, 03/2020
“A great, swinging work that moves back and forth between jazz, samba, and calypso” – Audio, 12/2020
“A new sound that is likely unique in its mix” – Rhein-Main-Magazin, 10/2020
“Perfect collaboration” – JazzThing, May 2021

Judith Tellado – Vocals, Percussion, Composition
Paulo Pereira – Saxophones, Flute, Composition
Georg Sheljasov – Piano, Guitar

Entry to the Schloßcafe 1.5 hours prior. Entry to the hall 15 minutes before concert start.

Joris

Hits like "Heart over Head" and "Only the Music" have made the heartfelt storyteller known to a million audience among Germany's singer/songwriters. Live, he is in a class of his own – everyone who has experienced him at his previous performances on the mountain knows this.

In 2015, he supported Laith Al-Deen with us, in 2016 came his mega debut "Hopeless Hopeful," in 2019 he took the stage for the first time as a headliner in the festival tent on the Honberg, and in 2022 he made a significant impact at the first post-Corona festival. Now he is returning, half a billion streams, three ECHOs, various gold and platinum records, numerous top ten placements in the radio charts, and four successful albums later, with his fantastic band and the ambition to make his third headliner appearance with us a very special evening that will stay in the visitors' memories for a long time.

An exceptional talent with three ECHOs. And yet authentic, approachable, and full of emotions – this is how Joris has established himself in the German music scene. The singer-songwriter has a unique ability to express big feelings in simple words and hit directly to the heart with his unmistakable voice. "Often, the simplest songs, which may not reinvent the world, are the best," he says himself about his songs. Inspired by personal experiences and moments from everyday life, his music emerges, which can both touch and empower. That Joris is much more than "just" the emotional ballad singer is proven by his energetic anthems that shake every stage. And he will do just that this summer during his tour "10 Years Hopeless Hopeful" at the Festival Honberg-Sommer!

An evening full of goosebump moments awaits the audience!

JC AND THE TREE - (AUS) - Folk-Rock, Roots (Sitzplatz-Konzert)

The folk-rock fusion duo “JC and the Tree” hails from the coastal town of Sunshine Coast in Australia, drawing inspiration from a nature-enveloped environment. They write about life and all its complexities with lyrics filled with analogies and inspirations from our natural world. Fans describe their style as complex yet accessible. With soaring violin sounds, rich harmonies, piano, and handcrafted acoustic guitars, their sound is both grounded and transcendent, weaving an emotive tapestry of folk, rock, roots, contemporary, and more. The duo takes the audience on a journey through various genres, enchanting them with their versatility and craftsmanship. With two albums and six singles under their belt, they are currently working on their third album. Motivated by their love for nature, the duo has made great efforts to offer ethically and sustainably produced merchandise.

JC and the Tree look back on a rich touring history in Australia, where they have been full-time for the past three years. Previous festivals include the Woodford Folk Festival, the Airlie Beach Festival, the Caloundra Music Fest, and many more. Founding member JC has been touring since the age of 19 and has played at Glastonbury Festival (UK), WOMAD Festival (UK), Bluesfest (Australia), and Splendour in the Grass Festival (Australia) six times. Lead singer Jesse has built the two acoustic guitars he plays himself and is often busy after shows chatting with the audience and hearing their stories. He sourced the wood himself after a tree fell during a storm and carried out all the work from sourcing the wood to building the guitars. He is passionately committed to the sustainable sourcing of wood for instrument making.

JULIAN DAWSON - Singer/Songwriter

More than 20 solo albums have been recorded by the charming Brit, he has played in Iain Matthews' band and worked in the Cologne studio of the band Can, having some of his CDs produced in the USA by E Street Band bassist Garry Tallent. He produced Wolfgang Niedecken's solo album and played with BAP, reached the Top Ten with "Luckiest Man In The Western World". His trademark is the harmonica, and he describes his style as a mix of pop, folk, country, and blues.

Dawson is firmly part of the repertoire of Blue Rose Records, where he also coordinated the legendary closing sessions with all the musicians of the Blue Rose Christmas Party. Recently, his anthology "Life And Soul" was released on the German label, a showcase in two parts of three CDs each, a personally selected compilation and a retrospective of his unique musical odyssey. In the booklet, publisher Geoff Wall says: "I can't think of another artist whose career included collaborations with avant-garde pioneers Can, jazz genius Toots Thielemans, country greats like Charlie Louvin and Vince Gill, soul legends like Dan Penn and Lucinda Williams, and guitar heroes like Duane Eddy, Richard Thompson, and Steuart Smith."

JULIAN DAWSON loves music in all its facets: in the studio, on the instrument, as a producer, and live on stage, where the audience feels his passion. In autumn 2022, Julian is touring solo. In addition, a songbook will be released that encourages fans to try out the songs at home after experiencing a concert of the exceptional artist.

JOE BENNICK - Singer-/Songwriter

The award-winning singer-songwriter and author Joe Bennick offers a live experience of exceptional quality with his guitar and unique voice. He creates sound images with his songs and multifaceted lyrics that invite dreaming and immersion, which he presents entertainingly and skillfully. With a fine sense and empathy, he explores vast emotional realms in an exciting musical interplay.

Joe Bennick writes both the music and the lyrics of his songs. He navigates the thematic tension between stagnation and change. What seems contradictory lives in constant coexistence; the rational allows room for emotion, and the metaphorical and literal exist side by side without creating breaks. Joe Bennick reflects in his songs on moments and phenomena that are familiar, while also giving us a glimpse into his very personal emotional worlds.

It is the contrasts that give Joe Bennick's art its special charm. He combines bright, shining sounds with energetic lyrics and gentle poetry with powerful sound. In doing so, he presents himself as a stylistically diverse artist whose music is not only an expression of his lyrics but always also a nod to the contradictions of feelings. Even on his debut CD, he hinted at the seemingly irreconcilable nature of things with the title "In close distance."

The singer-songwriter Joe Bennick is also active as an author. His first novel was published in 2016, followed by his first poetry collection in 2021. He is a regular guest on concert stages in Germany and has found his place in the singer-songwriter spectrum between folk-pop and acoustic-indie.

For his second album "blossom and gloom," he was awarded the German Singer-Songwriter Prize of the German Pop Foundation in 2021. In 2023, his current album "winter" was nominated for the prestigious German Record Critics' Award.
