Quincy – Inspirational Quotes
Almost one year ago, we watched the documentary “Quincy” while waiting in Reykjavik for our connection flight from Düsseldorf to Chicago. It’s about the life of Quincy Jones. How he came to be the successful musician, arranger and producer. With the documentary came so many quotes (most of them by Quincy, but also Ray Charles…
House Concert in Klein Schneen
When we arrived at our hosts Annette and Christian, we saw that their front yard was a bee paradise. So many different, beautiful flowers! We went to the front door and found the most peculiar door bell. We had to turn a little key which would ring (similar to a bike bell) inside the house.…
House Concert #2 in Bielefeld
Nina has a beautiful apartment which she has decorated very tastefully. When we arrived three friends were already preparing for the concert. One of them was Dami from Australia! We really had an international audience this tour 🙂
House Concert #1 in Bielefeld
We found our host Jenny on CouchSurfing and her profile already seemed super interesting. She has traveled a lot with the help of CouchSurfing and now wants to give these great opportunities back to that community. She’s currently doing an apprenticeship to become a carpenter! How cool is that?!
Public Concert @ Andrea’s Glücksmasche
Our next stop after Paderborn was Horn-Bad Meinberg. This little village is the home of Andrea’s Glücksmasche, a shop for knitting supplies. The special thing about this store is that next door the owners Andrea and Ingo opened a café where they host workshops, book readings, and concerts.
Public Concert @ FreiWerk Paderborn
Last week we’ve been on our July-Tour through the Ostwestfalen-Lippe area. Our first stop was the FreiWerk in Paderborn. It’s an open workshop space where you can build furniture (or whatever you can envision) out of wood, which is especially great if you can’t use your Dad’s workshop because you’re a student who now lives…
House Concert in Schmallenberg
The last stop on our mini-tour last weekend was the beautiful town Schmallenberg, in the High Sauerland District. It was our first concert booked through SofaConcerts and apparently the very first house concert for our hosts Bettina and Dietmar. Therefore, it was extra important for us that they have a nice experience.
House Concert in Leipzig
Our hosts were Anja and Maik. Both love to travel – like us – and get to know new people and their music. They host concerts regularly and listen to the music of their former guest musicians whenever possible.
House Concert in Erfurt
Last Friday we performed in Erfurt-Germany for our hosts Tanja and Tony. They welcomed us into their beautiful home that they share with their cute tortoise, Egon 🙂
House Concert in Rotterdam
Joe und Linda just had another wonderful house concert in Rotterdam!
New Music Video Out Now!
We just released our new music video! We’re super excited about it and hope you enjoy! :)))
I Love Rock ‘n‘ Roll
The last week we’ve been on tour with the band Altitudes&Attitude. Joe plays the drums on their Europe tour. For most of the time we’re even touring with Slash from Guns n’ Roses featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. It’s been an exciting week.
Our Holiday Concert Performance
Last Sunday we played at the Christmas Concert of the Frauenchor Erkrath in the Stadthalle Erkrath. While Linda has performed in this concert for almost 20 years, it was the first time we both participated together.
Re-Learning the Piano pt.II
One month ago I wrote about starting to play the piano again and I’d just like to sum up my progress.
We’ve been featured on German TV!
Beginning in 2009, the “Lokalzeit Düsseldorf” (a local news program broadcasted in Düsseldorf and surrounding areas) has followed Linda during her studies and the start of her singing career. Most recently, they have produced a video about the two of us; discussing our unique story and our plans to travel and perform throughout Europe!
Re-Learning the Piano
Recently I started practicing piano again in preparation for our gig on December 16th.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Yesterday we saw Bohemian Rhapsody (in Germany it was released on Oct. 31st so we got an early start 😉 ) and we really, really liked it.
Recording
Hand-in-hand with our travel is the desire to write, record, and perform our original music. Both of us had a number of incomplete song ideas, which with the other person’s help, are finally coming to life. Utilizing a rather simple recording setup, we have begun tracking for the preliminary demo.
