Blues for Gerd Huke: An Evening Full of Soul, Memory, and Great Guitar Moments
On January 29, 2027, the Kofferfabrik in Fürth will transform into an intimate blues club: The concert Blues for Gerd Huke commemorates the tenth anniversary of the dedicated cultural mediator and festival organizer Gerd Huke. Starting at 8 PM, established voices from the blues and music scene will meet Franconian enthusiasm and a special musical connection.
A Tribute to a Passionate Cultural Creator
Gerd Huke led the cultural department in Wendelstein for nearly 30 years, founded the New Orleans Music Festival, and established blues and jazz concerts in the Jegelscheune. His work brought together international musicians and a curious audience. The concert evening at the Kofferfabrik continues this passion in Fürth and connects memory with vibrant stage performance.
Sir Oliver Mally and Peter Schneider: Acoustic Blues with Great Depth
At the center is the duo of Styrian guitarist and singer Sir Oliver Mally and Munich guitarist Peter Schneider. Two acoustic guitars, slide guitar, lap steel, harp, and Mally's intense voice create a sound between subtle intimacy and explosive energy. Their musical interaction lives from precise synchronization, spontaneous interplay, and a blues aesthetic that not only tells stories but makes them tangible.
Peter Pelzner and the Burning Hearts Bring Franconia to Groove
Peter Pelzner is one of the defining blues and blues rock guitarists of Franconia. With The Burning Hearts, a formation known for distinct blues feeling and a striking groove takes the stage. For this special evening, the trio will be joined by surprise guests from the Franconian music scene.
When the Concert Becomes a Session
For the finale, a large joint session is announced: Peter Pelzner, his fellow musicians, Peter Schneider, Oliver Mally, and other guest musicians will combine their strengths. Acoustic dynamics and stage chemistry unite as individual motifs culminate in a spectacular blues finale. The audience's mood in the Kofferfabrik is likely to stay very close to the musical event.
