Slowhand – The Eric Clapton Tribute
Eric Clapton has become an icon - in 'Rolling Stone' magazine he is the second best guitarist worldwide - after Jimi Hendrix. His fame and fan base extends across all age groups, and young music enthusiasts in particular seem to be interested in Clapton's work, especially in the early years of his musical career. The concerts are sold out and audiences from 12 to 80 are enthusiastic.
With Slowhand - The Eric Clapton Tribute, experience a firework display of his most successful songs and hits throughout Clapton's life's work - from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers to Cream and Derek and the Dominos to Blind Faith right up to the present day. Slowhand will thrill your audience - with songs such as Sunshine of Your Love, Layla, Wonderful tonight, After Midnight or I shot the Sheriff, to name but a few. The authentic guitars, amps and the Hammond organ with Leslie as well as the backing choir ensure the sound is true to the original. With phenomenal vocal power and intensity, lead singer Lukas Schüßler interprets the songs that were composed two generations before him. The combination of many years of professional musical experience paired with unbridled joy of playing make up the magic of this extraordinary band.
'The most beautiful concert for a long time, I'm happy that I was there' and '...it was awesome, your concert, a superlative in every respect' are two voices from the audience.
Lukas Schüßler has recently been awarded the Cultural Award for Music of the Regional Association of Saarbrücken.
Slowhand was honoured with the German Rock&Pop Award 2019 of the German Pop Foundation in the Tribute category.
