Hans Theessink 70 Birthday Bash
That might have been a party! For four evenings, from April 4 to 7, 2018, the legendary Birthday Bash concerts were recorded in Vienna's Metropol. Hans Theessink, great singer, songwriter and virtuoso guitarist, celebrated his 70s and many musical friends had not missed the opportunity to congratulate him. They came from all over Europe and North America and offered a true musical fireworks. The atmosphere in the sold-out house every evening was unique, not least because of the enthusiastic fans - i.e. because of you.
Now the vinyl and double CD is ready. A unique birthday bash document in great sound quality, peppered with special sweets and unusual sessions. For example, Sassy from "die Seer" presents her bluesy side and launches a brilliant version of "Sweet Home Chicago" with Hans. Hans and Sassy interpret the Towns Van Zandt's song "If I Needed You" with soulful intensity. Gö du stay with me tonight," Says Theessink with his good friend Schiffkowitz. "Lintschi" the great translation of "Give My Love to Rose" by and with Ernst Molden is sung wonderfully Viennese by Hans Theessink to the great delight of the audience.
And the international highlight of the birthday party, the "Blind Boys Of Alabama" with the gospels "Uncloudy Day" and "I Saw The Light" is now also available for eternity. And these are all just a few pieces of gusto from this bulging program .... On this thrillingly solemn Birthday Bash LP, he demonstrates this once again, together with his guests.
