Seine Reisen führten den Folk/ Blues/ Americana- Musiker Travis Shane nach Köln, wo er keine Zeit verlor, in die pulsierende Musikszene einzutauchen, die er seitdem mit seinen charismatischen Performances & seinem aufrichtigen Spirit bereichert.
Dieses Zusammenspiel von Blues, der mit Folk einer jahrhundertealten Vergangenheit (Son House’s Sohn, Bob Dylans’ Geist, Tom Waits’ Aschenbecher, die alle mit Jack White’s eiserner Faust kollidieren) durchdrungen ist, beleben eine alte Kunst des Songwritings wieder. Flammender Mundharmonika-Stahl, blitzende Fingerpick-Rhythmen und ein mutiges, aber dynamisches stimmliches Donnern münden in einem Ensemble aus mächtigem Sound.

Ein Mann mit Feuer in den Augen und Gott als Ass im Ärmel. T.S. Steel spielt aus seinem Repertoire aus mehr als 100 eigens geschriebenen Songs.

+ Support: TRISTAN MICHAEL
As a son of a mother who is a classical singer and a father who plays the piano, Tristan is the offspring of a musical family. His first instrument was the flute, which he started playing at age five. At the same age he also attended several choirs, developing his voice and collecting experiences singing I performing in front of a crowd. At the age of seven he started taking violin lessons, acquiring skills that later proved to be invaluable for mastering the guitar. Influences from different musical areas like Andy Mckee, Matt Corby, Bob Dylan or Metallica enabled him to think outside of genre based boundaries. With the knowledge he gathered and is still gathering he developed a style incorporating finger style and body percussion elements accompanied by a mixture of chest and head voice. Always thriving to master his craft and pushing the limits of his own capabilities, Tristan will be happy to share his deepest thoughts and emotions throughout his music with you.
