A different kind of Christmas concert prepared Max Kinker and his Band on Friday evening visitors in the ball house. “Winter Wonderland” is the name of the concert with the most famous Christmas classics of Pop and rock history.
Schongau –”Driving Home for Christmas”, “Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer”, “Santa Claus is coming to Perabet Town” – who now thinks of the earwigs, with those buying houses are sonicated in the run-up to Christmas with fondness, not wrong. But if you think that Max Kinker & Band would be nothing to deliver other, do the musicians in the wrong. The four allgäu with “vocal angel” Raphaela Lutz are a sort of musical Conviction, with all their heart and in the footsteps of Max Gregers the popular Songs artfully re-interpreted.
About 120 visitors had found their way into the ball house and experienced a concert that left no cold. “It would be boring if we would play all night in this Formation”, told Moderator Robert the mouth of the audience. And really, the musicians took turns, sang and played in various formations, and delivered some impressive solos. Above all, the “boss”, and Drummer Max Kinker, burn to a Groovy Version of “The Christmas tree, the lights,” the batons twirl, and a nearly ten-minute drums inlay from the Finest delivered. “It was melodic, soft, and warm, and then I come and Wake you all again,” he grinned, after he had celebrated the visitors in part, to a standing ovation.
Considerably more shades singer Raphaela Lutz in stock. Initially, in a charming long, red dress, and later in elegant White, it was not just the eye-catcher on the stage, but enthusiastic ballads with soulful ball, as “Someday at Christmas” (Stevie Wonder), or even a trip to the classic with “Adeste fidelis”. The “Kinker-Family”, that is, Max Kinker on the Cajon, and his son Moritz on Bass, with the Elvis Hit “Blue Christmas” and the visitors join in swinging. And even if none of the offer made to dance use, was no one calmly in his chair. There was mitgewippt, geschnippt or clapping. And when the song “snow falls Softly at night” suddenly, Calypso-rhythms in a “funky” Arrangement ends, Max Kinker and his Band had their Finger in the game.
Regardless of whether Reinhold Ohmeier on the Piano and with singing, Moritz Kinker on the double bass or E-Bass and vocals, Robert foot on saxophone and flute, or Max Kinker on drums – have been found here together four virtuoso musicians who do what they do on stage, and with their enthusiasm for modern Christmas the audience the sounds of infected. To Robert’s mouth, not to sing, but more was allowed to speak, amusing and entertaining through the program. No wonder that this musical journey through a Winter Wonderland arrived at the visitors so well that they demanded several encores.
