Jan Plewka

Jan Plewka brought grunge to Germany in the 1990s and made German-language music radio-friendly with his band Selig. As an actor, performer, and Rio Reiser interpreter, he has also conquered the theater and, for the past 15 years, has realized various musical projects with theater super-professional Tom Stromberg at Kampnagel. Now he is back at Kampnagel with his latest works in art and music from the past five years: EINE ART SOLOALBUM is a collection of wonderful songs about love, death, pain, and longing—the eternal big themes that make up every little universe. Recorded in live sessions in the rehearsal room at Kampnagel with Tom Stromberg at the spotlight, the typical feeling of the Plewka sound, somewhere between melancholy and sensuality, comes across very directly here – and is now being celebrated as an album premiere at the place where it was created, with a band and beautiful lighting.
