Gustav

Concert

Songs about the lightness of summer, incompetent bankers, desire, love and death — with his «Holy Songbook» the Swiss musician Gustav has returned to his roots as a singer-songwriter. Following his success in bands, orchestras and choirs, he now plays in a quartet. For his latest album, he played all the instruments — guitar, banjo and accordion — himself. His songs are a mix of folk, bluegrass, gospel and chanson and the lyrics elegantly switch from Swiss dialect to French and German. Even when performing thoughtful songs every once in a while, Gustav is a true entertainer who knows, backed up by his fellow musicians, how to carry his audience with him. So do not hesitate to clap, whistle and hoot along! (ron)
