With a blend of folk and singer-songwriter styles, enriched with elements that range from pop and blues to more mellow tones, Philipp Leon Fankhauser and his friends Roger Konrad, Stefan Mattig, and Christian Bucher bring an astonishing, multifaceted, and unique mix to the stage. The band, whose members all hail from the Lucerne area, captivates the audience with their songs, evoking a warm and expansive atmosphere. Philipp's lyrics poetically weave around the inner lights, the friendships, beauties, and intensities of the human experience.
Philipp is the centre of the band; as a musician (guitarist, composer, and producer), visual artist, and poet, his artistic endeavours revolve around authentic beauty, intensity, and their manifestations. The music is introspective, offering a dialogue of sound and emotion that feels honest and authentic in every moment. Their consistently positive intention is always palpable. The unique personalities of all four professional musicians, along with their mischievous joy of playing full of surprises, shine through in their pieces; together, they create a unique listening experience.
Influenced by artists like Norah Jones, Sufjan Stevens, Elliott Smith, Jason Mraz, RHCP, and more, they succeed in bridging different genres, captivating a wide audience. Their releases, including the recently launched video series "Live Session Circus," showcase their musical versatility and depth. The band is like a good cocktail; each member brings their own notes, and together they create a truly delightful experience. Their live performances are not just musical but also visual experiences that mesmerise the audience — perfect for anyone who loves music that comes from the heart and goes straight to the heart.
