Songwriting, Vocals, Guitar
Jooles
The creative heart of our band, Jooles, looks beneath the surface in everything. With the same perspective that she used to assemble our gang, she writes her lyrics and melodies: always honest, deep, and true, but above all, vibrant. Songs that breathe in and out of life – each one of them is an invitation to walk a part of the journey together, to share a brief moment.
Saxophon
Marc
Marc When Marc plays, the air ignites. Whether on alto or tenor, his saxophone bursts forth from him like his laughter. Marc is one of those unique individuals who make every space and situation more pleasant. His melodies adorn and inspire, stirring and awakening, evoking a dreamlike state.
Piano
Nick
When the Hidden Tracks play, Nick finds it hard to sit still. Driven by friendship and a love for the sound that fuels this group, his fingers dance joy into the world. His backing vocals and piano meld into the frenzy of the performance, in which he at times caresses his keys softly and nearly smashes them to bits at others.
Guitar
Phil
When Philipp stumbled upon a keyboard under a friend’s bed, his musical journey began. However, his parents got him a guitar instead of a keyboard, reasoning that he’s more of a “guitar type,” and they were right. Philipp is a time traveler with a passion for melody and dreams. His enthusiasm touches and inspires, creating an energy that makes the stage resonate with joy.
Backing Vocals, Percussion
Torsten
Torsten’s high-energy presence on our stages is truly captivating. Performing alongside Torsten means having a great time. His liveliness and joy for life are truly enchanting. Aptly referred to by Jooles as the number one on the bridge, this Aachen-based artist turns every concert into a musical frenzy, whether through his backing vocals or his rhythmic percussion contributions – always driven by his magnetic charisma.
Bass
Jan
Jan is one of those musicians where the boundary between instrument and individual blurs. Built upon his influences from the alternative, rock, and blues realms, Jan plays just as he speaks: gentle, resonant, spirited, and contemplative, brimming with power yet effortless. A comfort-loving soul with a heart, he knows how to immerse himself in every song, and without him, our foundation would be incomplete.
Drums
Mario
When it’s time to rock, he rocks; and when it’s time to whisper, he whispers. Always serving the song, Mario’s playing reflects his character: dependable, witty, and harmonious. Whether he’s working the Cajón or bringing the full set to life, our drummer immerses himself in every song and lays down the foundation on which we dance.
