Pascal Blenke Live
- Location:
- Theaterhaus, Siemensstr. 11, 70469 Stuttgart
The last note fades and the stories told echo inside you. You are exhausted from dancing and singing along, a tear rolls down your beaming face. Time just didn't exist. You take out your cell phone, realize that you forgot to make a memory video and text your loved one that you absolutely have to talk.
Having grown up in Augsburg and now living in Stuttgart, Pascal Blenke is a real insider tip in the German music scene. The singer, songwriter and pianist fascinates with his unmistakable style, which combines groovy, funky good-vibes German pop and emotional piano music. He describes his greatest success as knowing what he wants to achieve with his songs and what his task as a musician is. And you can feel it: through the honest, open presentation of everyday topics, his lyrics speak directly from the soul of many people.
As a teenager, Pascal Blenke dreamed of becoming a jazz pianist. At an audition, however, a jazz professor said that he was not good enough to study jazz piano. Through the leading role in a school musical, he found his way to his singing voice instead, which opened new doors: This was followed by a place to study jazz/pop singing, numerous gigs as a cover singer and member of the Bundesjazzorchester and the formation of his own band! A gig opening for Jamie Cullum encouraged Pascal to take a risk and put all his eggs in one basket in future: His own music.
Pascal makes every stage his own living room. With his clear, warm voice and his direct manner, he creates a cozy community. His jazz influences are less noticeable in his songwriting than in the way he performs: no two concerts are the same. Sometimes songs are characterized by extended solos, sometimes short and as on the album, sometimes acoustic, sometimes with a full program - here, too, you can clearly feel the pure life. Varied, surprising and, above all, particularly close, his shows are a mix of laughter, tears, dancing and infectious self-reflection.
