Mathias Kellner honored the culture stage ambush at the weekend.
Even when his audience sat far away in the living room at home, his musical energy reached them.
Gelting - He was looking forward to his appearance on the Kulturbühne.
"I've been there many times and always enjoy coming back here," admitted Mathias Kellner.
The native of Lower Bavaria usually played in front of full tables and communicated lively with the audience between his songs.
Before the concert on Saturday evening, some fans wondered whether this energy could also be felt in a live stream recording.
The 36-year-old dispelled these concerns after just a few minutes.
Kellner did not remain idle during the months-long lockdown phases and often appeared several times a week with live musical recordings on social networks such as Facebook.
"I just had to do that to keep up with the practice," he said.
These experiences have now paid off.
Because the singer knew exactly when he had to look into the cameras, which Thorsten Thane was using for the first time, and conversed easily with the virtual audience.
His invitation to join an atmospheric “Dadadada” background choir for the cover version of the Robert Palmer hit “Johnny and Mary” was likely to have been followed by many viewers.
Of course, there was also time for his blues numbers performed in Bavarian dialect.
This is how “Gruam” came about during the first lockdown in spring 2020. The song “Sturm” from the album “Tanzcafé Memory” hit the melancholy nerve of the locked-out audience afterwards, as did waiters amusing memories of their youth of abandoned “bus huts” and lit chewing gum machines in the Lower Bavarian province .
The official part of the performance ended with the cheerful encore “I leg mi wieda hi” - a smugly recited lament about a hungover alcoholic.
As a thank you for the voluntary work of the members of the Kulturverein Isar-Loisach (KIL), Mathias Kellner picked up the guitar again and played witty classics by Haindling, Oasis, Depeche Mode and Neil Young.
After the 54th livestream appearance within eleven months, ambush operator Assunta Tammelleo was visibly touched: “Last year we still had doubts as to whether the cultural stage would even experience its 30th anniversary.
It remains a special club, ”she stated with satisfaction.
