Upcoming Concerts

Lotta St. Joan, the Berlin-based folk singer/songwriter who’s been garnering positive reviews and slow nods of the head from bearded people who smoke pipes (I made that last bit up) is now releasing her new album Song for the Undecided. This exploration of / ode to a lack of decision-making ability has simultaneously elevated her…

The artist known only as Phileas – French-born, Berliner by choice – has been impressing people wide and far with his sonorous, rather sombre music over the last few years. His 2022 debut album was described by Rolling Stone as “almost flawless” and was “Album of the Week” at SWR2 and BRF1 while also being…
