THE NEW ALBUM AIN’T THAT SOMETHING - NEW TOUR STARTS MARCH 7, 2025!
YES, IT’S REALLY SOMETHING, PHILIPP FANKHAUSER'S NEW ALBUM. NOT THAT HIS PREVIOUS SEVENTEEN ALBUMS WERE ALWAYS FREE OF SURPRISES, BUT NOW IT'S GOING QUITE FURTHER! TO SAY IT'S “JUST” ANOTHER BLUES ALBUM WOULDN'T BE WRONG, BUT IT'S NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH EITHER! FANKHAUSER AND HIS CONGENIAL MUSICIANS SWING EFFORTLESSLY BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BLUES, COUNTRY, GOSPEL, R&B, ZYDECO AND FRENCH CHANSON. ALWAYS IN THE TYPICAL FANKHAUSER SOUND, WITH A GOOD DOSE OF SOUL, IMPRESSIVE AUTHENTICITY AND AN INDIVIDUALITY THAT IS UNPARALLELED IN THIS COUNTRY! HEARING AND SEEING THESE SIX MEN ON STAGE IS SIMPLY GREAT FUN!
