biographical info
das macht SHOW! is cool acoustic roots and wry urban folk, a five-piece outfit of fast-picking slick-singing throwbacks from Middle Canada. Their diverse sound combines bits of twangy old country, irreverent folk pop, and punchy acoustic swing. Hooky arrangements and razor-sharp vocals showcase sarcastic, insightful, and occasionally off-the-wall original songs. This road-tested quintet of powerhouse instrumentalists and great singers bring youthful exuberance, quirky flair, and unpredictable stage antics to every performance – they truly know just what “makes show”!
