A dialogue with songs from the bottom of the soul and lyrics between lightness and profundity. About the story behind the story... Judy Bailey and Patrick Depuhl give an evening full of humor to the heart and brain. They sing about roots, the world and homeland, tell of father, country and God, because they are convinced that most of the things he created are amazingly colorful...
Her concert reading is open, vulnerable and strong. Or in the words of concertgoers:"What an evening! How courageous, how clever, how beautiful", "moving in its depth and originality", "full of hope in all the hardships". The evening unfolds in front of an impressive stage set that, in combination with the songs and stories, opens up new spaces in the mind and heart.
The artists celebrated the preview premiere with friends and neighbors in their own living rooms; the premiere five days later in front of almost 1000 spectators, in the Dortmund Konzerthaus, where the Philharmonie usually plays. The two well-traveled people are on the road on all continents; exception: Antarctica. Their musical journey has taken them to over 30 countries, to performances in front of millionaires and ministers, presidents, the Pope and Nobel Prize winners, as well as to the homeless, prisoners and refugees, and to 14 albums of their own. In 2020, they won a NRW Heimatpreis from the Ministry of Home Affairs as a team with their unifying "Dorf Musik Projekt".
