Stefan Eichner spielt Reinhard Mey

"You listen to a lot of Reinhard Mey, don't you? The guitar and the lyrics remind me a lot of that - wonderful!". Stefan Eichner - better known as "Das Eich" - often hears these and similar questions after his concerts. It's no coincidence that the "Relaxed Franconian" is indeed a lover of the chansons of Germany's best-known singer-songwriter and has learned and refined his guitar playing largely with songs by Reinhard Mey.

Now Stefan Eichner has fulfilled a wish and put together a full-length Reinhard Mey chanson stage program, which he will be performing live alongside his own music cabaret programs from now on. Of course, like Reinhard Mey himself, without a band. Just with a guitar. The artist himself describes the evening as follows: "The songs have accompanied me for more than half a lifetime: at home, on tour, actually all the time. Reinhard is unique, impossible to copy and that's not what this program is about. Nor is the concert evening a "best of". Reinhard Mey has written over 500 songs in his career. An incredible achievement. Therefore, in my opinion, a compilation of, for example, the 20 greatest successes would not do justice to this achievement.
