The band "d'Bavaresi" will perform on May 4th in the Tölzer Kurhaus.

The trio, consisting of Otto Schellinger, Sebastian Horn and Matthias Kellner, now wants to really take off.

Bad Tölz -

Maybe not everyone is a fan of Bavarian hits - but what isn't can now definitely become: With the new formation "d'Bavaresi" dialect hits get a cool guise with creative sound, bluesy voices - and lots of fun is also guaranteed.

The trio consists of three grown men and musicians from Lower Bavaria, Upper Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate.

There are no strangers who have embarked on new paths here: Sebastian Horn, Matthias Kellner and Otto Schellinger are all old hands in the music profession.

You wanted to get off to a flying start with "d'Bavaresi" even before Corona and are now starting to catch up on what was not possible during the pandemic.

At the beginning of May they appear in the Tölzer Kurhaus.

"This band is still relatively new and it's a lot of fun," says Horn, who is best known for his other bands, the "Bananafishbones" but also for "Dreiviertelblut".

"We've never made music like this before.

It's the first time we make fun of Bavarian pop music."

Whereby "making fun" is of course also a kind of homage here,

otherwise the songs would not have made it onto the list.

And they bow their heads to some artists whose songs they reinterpret in their own way, such as Ringsgwandl, Haindling and the Spider Murphy Gang.

Singer in the Oberland already known from other formations

Their concept is to transform music in a way that they would like to hear it themselves, and they don't stop at the famous "Resi" who is picked up by the tractor.

Even the band name "d' Bavaresi" comes from this classic by Wolfgang Fierek, which was played all over the place in beer tents and at parties in the eighties.

But American pop music and, above all, their own creations also have their place in the stage program, which is guaranteed not to be deadly serious and "a lot of teasing" as Horn assures.

With his band colleague, the Upper Palatinate singer-songwriter, cabaret artist and actor Matthias Kellner, he feels like a soul mate and has wanted to do something together for a long time.

But it was the multi-instrumentalist Otto Schellinger, who got the ball rolling, who regularly performs on stage as a bassist, guitarist, drummer and singer with artists such as Claudia Koreck and Nick Woodland.

The three of them met in his Munich studio and realized that it worked extremely well.

"It's still exciting, even if we've all been on stage for a long time," says Horn.

"But we can do it with a certain nonchalance and joy."

Hits like "Resi" should be transformed

The "Bavaro-Pop" that Horn, Kellner and Schellinger have recently devoted themselves to is supposed to be fresh and offbeat - and that's exactly what it does.

The texts in dialect, which they interpret in a stubborn way, are of central importance: “We all have a connection to it, it goes straight to the heart.

With English lyrics, for example, there is still a barrier to understanding and feeling, even if you understand what it's about," says Horn, who already sings in Bavarian with three-quarter blood.

One thing is certain: a concert with "d'Bavaresi" will be an adventurous journey through the Bavarian musical landscape from Willy Michl to Nicki and friends.

Goes into the ear – and that's where it stays.

The concert

takes place on Wednesday, May 4th, in the Tölzer Kurhaus.

Start is at 8 p.m., admission is from 7 p.m.

Tickets for 26 euros are available in advance online or at all Munich ticket offices, such as the Tölzer Tourist Info.
