Maxi Pongratz: rum&num

Maxi Pongratz, known for his band 'Kofelgschroa' and his unmistakable accordion style, explores the big questions of life in his new program 'rum&num': How do you become who you want to be? What connects folk music with home – and what does home even mean? With witty texts and a blend of tavern music, Dadaism, tradition, and rebellion, he creates a unique sonic space between humor, melancholy, and poetry.

Originally a gardener, his path led him from taverns and stages into the German cabaret scene. His albums with 'Kofelgschroa,' produced by Micha Acher ('The Notwist'), as well as his solo projects – including the current album 'rum&num' – showcase his musical versatility. He is often accompanied by Juri Kannheiser on cello or Agnes Liberta on clarinet, whose instruments add extra depth to the program. An evening full of boundary-crossing between city and countryside, shyness and mischief.
