GUNTER GABRIEL

The life of the musician born in Westphalia has been anything but straightforward. After great sales successes and hits like Er ist ein Kerl (Der 30 Tonner Diesel) or Hey Boss, ich brauch mehr Geld, the likable heavyweight of the German scene fell into decline in the 1980s and lost his footing. Today, GUNTER GABRIEL lives on a houseboat in the Hamburg-Harburg harbor, has sworn off alcohol and cigarettes, and enjoys his regained popularity.

The year 2009 was a good year for him. With the album 'Sohn aus dem Volk', another homage to his friend Johnny Cash, he made a spectacular comeback to the stage. He currently plays the title role in the revue 'Hello, I’m Johnny Cash' and gives concerts.

"It remains undisputed that Gunter Gabriel is one of the best and most committed singer/songwriters in this country. A living country legend. Indestructible." From: Jürgen Rau "Rock'n'Roots", Schall & Rau Verlag 2008

ROB RYAN ROADSHOW

The logo of the ROB RYAN ROADSHOW indicates Berlin, Nashville, and NYC as hometowns. For love, the bandleader moved from Tennessee to Germany – and he has not regretted this step. With his band and a roots cocktail of roadhouse rock, rockabilly, and country - called 'High Energy Honky Tonk' - he has stood on European stages, including as tour support for The Boss Hoss and Imelda May.

In Worpswede, the ROB RYAN ROADSHOW is expected to perform in the following lineup:

o Rob Ryan – vocals, guitar

o Ralf Sommers - bass

o C. Alex Faide – lead guitar, vocals

o Till Richter – drums, vocals

BANG! MUSTANG!

From Leipzig come BANG! MUSTANG!, who describe their music as a mix of "Americana, Chinese pop, and surf", a wild combination of brilliant melodies, exciting rhythms, and a guitar fireworks – surf in the true sense. "It's all about dynamics, dedication, and passion!", says Sven, the lead guitarist.

BANG! MUSTANG! will likely perform in the Music Hall in the following lineup:

o Sven alias John Oceanic - lead guitar

o Joern alias Secret Anger Man – second guitar

o Patrick alias El Pato – bass guitar

o Boris Bisfer Israel – drums
