The last musical highlight before the summer break:Here you can feel the "Kozmic Blues", get carried away and then it's suddenly there: goosebumps!
Maggie Mackenthun has an extraordinary job: she creates goosebumps.
And because this skin is apparently in high demand, the singer and her band Kozmic Blue have been performing at thousands of concerts across genres and around the world for over 30 years. Kozmic Blue inspires with an explosion of emotions. Maggie and her Kozmic's have built their audience through word of mouth and handshakes. Without loops, playbacks, fog, propaganda, marketing, TV shows and laser lights. Maggie has experienced what she sings about: Losing her Scottish father at the age of 2, running away from home at 16, touring half of Europe with street music, then living for years as a rocker chick in a caravan site. She experienced gang wars, became a widow, a drug addict, withdrew from heroin, then raised three children - without a dishwasher, cleaning lady or nanny. And she sings about this blues and rock 'n' roll in her mostly self-written songs. But even without lyrics, you would understand her immediately. "She shouted, moaned, rapped, screamed, scatted, whimpered, roared, wailed, shrieked, only to suddenly deliver a clear soprano (Berliner Zeitung)". There is nothing artificial, rehearsed or routine. She lives what she sings, and vice versa. You feel the "Kozmic Blues", let yourself be carried away, and then it's suddenly there: goosebumps!
