Germany's most successful big band show is back. Max Mutzke and the SWR Big Band are embarking on their biggest tour together to date throughout Germany in fall 2025.
You can't really learn passion and talent - Max Mutzke has both in abundance. He has the gift of captivating the audience and the exceptional German talent from the Black Forest has been proving this impressively time and time again for 20 years. When this powerhouse meets the multiple Grammy-nominated SWR Big Band, the result is an energetic spectacle of talent and skill that literally sweeps you off your feet. Combined with an irrepressible joy of playing, no two evenings are the same and each time is an exclusive experience for the audience. Soul viel mehr offers a mix of Mutzke hits such as "Welt hinter Glas", "Can't wait until tonight", or "Marie" as well as soul & hip-hop classics such as "Me & Mrs. Jones" and songs by Alicia Keys, Will Smith, Anderson Paak or Sly & The Family Stone. Look forward to a special concert with a charismatic voice, packaged in a full big band sound at the height of the times.
Max Mutzke's showcase career is characterized by constant artistic development with several chart placements. It all began with a small funk band. In 2004, he won a casting show that took him to the Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul. There he took eighth place with "Can't wait until tonight". Ten years and six albums later, Mutzke has established himself as one of the best singers in the German music scene. He even received the Jazz Platinum Award with his album "Durch Einander". He is also the only artist from a talent show to date who has been able to establish himself over the years and have a successful career.
