Rohmann – Wenn sie schläft

The word on the singer and guitarist from Hanover, Markus Rohmann, is that he writes "songs of beauty and disaster, from the heart and in the German language." That is a perfect summary. Even though there are many other aspects of this songwriter, who, to paraphrase him, would like to marry his mother tongue with his Anglo-American musical roots.

The trained music pedagogue, who made his way to the guitar via the piano and the saxophone, exhibits his outstanding abilities as a singer and guitarist, composer and writer who really draws in the listener with powerful imagery. Another Rohman trademark is his slide playing on a lap steel guitar, which blues fans will especially appreciate. Liveliness, intimacy and authenticity: these may well be the best words to describe Markus Rohmann. And if anyone needs comparisons, then look for Stoppok, Pohlmann and Niels Frevert, though it would hardly do justice to the uniqueness of this highly ambitious and exceptionally talented musician, who can be discovered through "Wenn sie schläft."
