Billy Joel's tribute concert and swing revival graced the Hamburg Music Summer festival
The much-anticipated "Homburg Music Summer" festival is set to begin this weekend, with a mix of live music performances gracing the historic market square. The event, organised by the IG Homburger Altstadt e.V. and the city of Homburg, runs until mid-September, promising a musical extravaganza for all.
On Friday, July 25th, at 7 pm, the stage will be taken by "All About Joel", a passionate tribute band dedicated to the works of Billy Joel. With a six-member band led by singer Thomas Matiszik, the group promises to captivate audiences with hits like "Piano Man", "Uptown Girl", and "We Didn't Start the Fire".
The following day, on Saturday, July 26th, starting at 11 am, the "Singin' Birds" will take centre stage. This three-member vocal group, accompanied by a five-member jazz ensemble, brings the spirit of classic swing back to Homburg. Inspired by acts like the Andrews Sisters, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, and Ella Fitzgerald, the group enchants with harmonious singing, elegant stage presence, and a nostalgic charm.
For those interested in the full programme, it can be found on the city of Homburg's website (www.homburg.de). It's important to note that temporary closures may occur in the area of St.-Michael-Straße due to high visitor numbers, managed by the security service as needed.
