Brustmanns Lust

In the organizer's words:

BRUSTMANNS LUST

Crossover music out of the blue!

The songs invented by solo cabaret artist Josef Brustmann and presented on stage for the first time at the Lustspielhaus are taken from real life. He sips the best summer of his life, is driven to the Isar, strolls through Munich, ends up in happy hour at Pfisterbrot, falls in love with a girl who has a goldfish called Hemingway.

Musically, the songs range from ballads, folk and rock'n'roll, Franz Schubert and Bavarian Elegy to trash polka.
When Luke Cyrus Goetze lets his steel guitar swing, you get goose bumps. Josef Brustmann's zither and Martin Regnat's diatonic are also very magical. Marion Dimbarth speaks to you when she blows her trombone. And which bass sounds better in Munich than Benni Schäfer's bass?
I come from music and from singing, says Josef Brustmann, the solo cabaret artist. I've always sung and "played". That's my whole passion, that's my whole life. But making a CD is a lot of work: writing texts, searching for texts, setting texts to music, searching for notes, chords; on the piano, on the guitar, on the zither, on the vocal chords. Tuning the voice to moods, words and sounds. Meeting other musicians, convincing them - isn't that nice, joining in - here and there in the studio with Hans Kohlenberger, Weltraumstudio, (what a nice word). Making a CD is an exhausting, long, wonderfully old-fashioned journey into space.

The musicians in the spaceship: Benni Schäfer/contrabass, Luke Cyrus Goetze/guitars, Martin Regnat/accordion, Marion Dimbarth/trombone, Josef Brustmann/vocals, zither, guitar, lyrics, composition.
