Dirk Michaelis

Description

Dirk Michaelis’ songs are always songs by a very approachable singer. Songs that are highly emotional and far away from the sluggish mainstream of the New German Sensibility. Songs that are often gentle, but never powerless. Songs that you have to listen to, that challenge the audience and yet still have that simple pop appeal that wins over the majority. He had his breakthrough with ‘Als ich fortging’, followed by a stage career spanning over four decades with various projects. Whether in a trio, with a large band or solo. Artful yet light, he proves to be a veritable entertainer; his performances benefit from a fascinating mixture of understatement, a delicate sense of nuance and exuberant musicality.
