Anna Maria Zinke & the Wise Old Men

Three have come together. A singer-songwriter and two veterans of Halle's musical landscape.
Instead of verbal wisdom, the two "wise old men", double bassist Akki Schulz and guitarist Michael Proschek, have their experienced instruments with them and accompany the lyrical and poetic songs of Anna Maria Zinke.
Michael Proschek have their experienced instruments with them and accompany the lyrical and poetic songs of Anna Maria Zinke.
In their trio "Anna & die Wise Old Men", three wonderfully different people come together who are on individual paths, above all musically, but also in terms of age and the way they look at things.
This sometimes leads to charming friction, which here and there erupts as humorous and spontaneous intermezzos between the melancholy songs. The differences are particularly noticeable in the music, with unconventional arrangements revealing a musical joy of travel.
Folky, jazzy or - well - quite idiosyncratic detours are curiously explored.
The songs ponder at deep red traffic lights, take off into order-loving orbits of the universe, return to melancholy café bars and actually always want to go to the sea to lose themselves there dreamily instrumentally on the horizon.
The trio rarely travels in a straight line and yet always stays on course. On the journey, the music wraps itself around everything that is there like a weather mood. Including the audience.
