‘17 Hippies’ on Tour – Germanyby Rob Howard |
 |
| The 17 Hippies aren’t really hippies. In fact, there aren’t even 17 of them (13 at last count). But that hasn’t stopped Berlin’s unique and eccentric band called 17 Hippies from performing in various genres — Eastern European folk, French chanson, Cajun/zydeco, and more — developing a unique pop style all their own. Lyrics sung in German, French, and English are accompanied by accordion, ukulele, banjo, clarinet, bouzouki, and trombone. When the band first started, members intentionally chose instruments they had never touched; twelve years and 1200 concerts later, they’re still playing traditional tunes and instruments in an entirely untraditional way. Future concert dates for the 17 Hippies include: February 28th – Sudhaus, Tübingen, Germany March 1st – Jazzhaus, Freiburg March 3rd – Muffathalle, Munich March 4th - E-Werk Erlangen, Erlangen March 5th - Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg March 6th - Gloria-Theater, Cologne March 7th - Kulturfabrik Krefeld, Krefeld March 8th - Kulturzentrum Kreuz, Fulda For further for information email: 17hippies@17hippies.com |
