About:

Let’s Swing to Electro-Beats!

How do you combine the charming texts and catchy swing melodies from the golden twenties with contemporary electro-beats? German musician Friedrich Rau and his band present new and creative songs in the style of the so-called Electro-Swing! Inspired by the light-heartedness of the Jazz Age, yet rooted in today’s technology-oriented society, he, together with guitarist and singer Tim Ludwig and drummer Sebastian Stahl, created an entirely new and fresh sound! The result consists of witty and thought-provoking songs performed to catchy tunes that are perfect for a club performance, whether you want to dance to them or just listen or sing along! Although the songs will be in German, texts and translations will be provided!

Friedrich Rau is a German singer, songwriter, composer, and musical performer, and currently lives in Leipzig. He studied music at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt in Weimar and performed in many musicals like DER MEDICUS (The Physician), THE FAMOUS DOOR ON SWING STREET, ROBIN HOOD, THE WHO'S TOMMY and THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW. He also composed a musical called SCHNEEWEISSCHEN UND ROSENTORT and has been touring regionally and internationally with his own songs.

Tim Ludwig enriches the project as co-songwriter, producer and co-developer. He is the guitarist and the second singer along with Friedrich Rau. He also teaches at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in Leipzig, where he offers classes on music education and guitar performance.

Sebastian Stahl is the third member of the group. He studied jazz drums at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt in Weimar. He has always experimented with electronic and acoustic drum sounds and has participated in many musical and theatre productions such as in the Jazz Age inspired Krystallpalast Varieté Leipzig.
