Weeland

Get ready for a generous helping of soul on the Seebühne! Weeland elegantly interweave retro-soul and rhythm ‘n’ blues with modern indie-soul influences such as those of Michael Kiwanuka, Khruangbin or Alabama Shakes. The collective around guitarist Patrick Wieland, singer Esther Cowens, drummer Tommy Baldu, keyboarder Martin Meixner and bassist Martin Stumpf brings together established greats of the scene who have already worked with artists such as Jan Delay, Max Herre, Roachford or the Fantastischen Vier. Weeland’s brand new album ‘The Soul Provisions’ unfolds a captivating range of emotions and timbres – from intimate, soulful ballads to rousing, groovy tracks. Patrick Wieland impressively proves that he is one of the leading German musicians when it comes to combining soul, rhythm & blues, pop and a few traces of jazz in exactly the right balance.

What the press say:

‘An album as extraordinary as it is timeless, offering plenty of food for the soul and a chance to slow down in these turbulent times’
Südwestpresse on “The Soul Provisions”

‘Weeland clearly has a grasp of what goes into making a real soul record. It’s obvious that he understands the technicalities, but it’s equally clear that he’s aware of the more intangible elements – like passion, commitment and feeling.’
