Boppin'B - 40 Jahre Rock’n’Roll & Rockabilly

In the organizer's words:

The rock in the surf - 40 years of Boppin'B

Holy moly, really now? 40 years? This combo has been rocking and rolling across Germany and neighboring countries for four decades now, and is clearly still 1. having fun and 2. not getting tired of it.

Just to put the whole thing into context: in 1985 Boris Becker won Wimbledon for the first time, Commodore introduced the Amiga, Helmut Kohl had been Chancellor for three years, Gorbachev became General Secretary of the CPSU, Live Aid took place simultaneously in London and Philadelphia, Lindenstraße went on air, and yes, Boppin'B played their first gig for a school festival project.

Now, 40 years later, the band is celebrating a remarkable anniversary. Remarkable because there is no long break followed by a reunion in their CV. Remarkable because the band is not just an amateur band that occasionally performs at the Schützenfest around the corner. And also remarkable because the musicians have played over 6,000 gigs without a large entourage - DIY galore, so to speak.

40 years of Boppin'B means 40 years of rock'n'roll & rockabilly in all its facets, countless stories and experiences - and yet the band's eyes are focused on the future in this anniversary year: A new album is in the starting blocks (title and release date are not yet finalized) and the schedule will again be packed with gigs all over Germany and beyond, each of which will be a birthday party to celebrate the music, the memories and the unforgettable moments that this band has created.

Whether club or festival stage - the infectious energy, passion and joy of music that the band radiates is infectious and simply fun.

Michi Bock - vocals
Golo Sturm - guitar
Didi Beck - double bass
Thomas Weiser - drums
Frank Seefeldt, Gregor Obermeier, Sebastian Tausch or Sven Garrecht - Sax
