Please find the German version down below

HOWLIN’ LORD (Bristol, UK)
H 
Mark Legassick aka Howlin' Lord has been writing and performing alone or with a revolving cast of musicians and friends across the UK and Ireland since 2006. His heartworn yet poetically sharp songwriting has drawn comparisons from Bob Dylan and Justin Townes Earle to The Gun Club and Neil Young's Crazy Horse and his first full length album, 'GOLD FURY' has delighted critics and audiences alike. Legassik will be on tour together with Mark Lectic, the Keyboarder of the collective band Crippled Black Phoenix.
A veteran of the UK festival circuit, this year saw Howlin' Lord play no less than four shows at Glastonbury2011 as well as a string of other festivals and indoor shows across the summer alternating between a full Electric country band (with Mark Furnevall on bass and Thomas Elgie on Drums) and the kind of solo folk singer who could slip comfortably into the New York Coffee shop scene of the early 60's.

Influences: Hank Williams Snr, The Velvet Underground, The Carter Family, Gillian Welch, Townes Van Zandt, Danzig era Misfits, Johnny Cash, The Avett Brothers, Woodie Guthrie, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Doc Boggs, Bill Monroe, The Rolling Stones, Black Flag, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Knitters, The Gun Club

Ralegh Long (London, UK)

Ralegh Long is an English Singer-Songwriter, guitarist and pianist. He has been celebrated for his ability to place ‘the enigmatic within the classically melodic’. His debut release - Sprawl – shows a distinctive artist, informed as much by classic songwriting as by improvisational tactics. He has been compared to cult luminaries such as Robyn Hitchcock and Epic Soundtracks
2011 has seen Ralegh on the road supporting Thomas White (Electric Soft Parade) and Darren Hayman (ex-Hefner). A second E.P will be released early 2012.
Ralegh has also produced and contributed material to the soundtrack for Black Pond, a new feature film starring Simon Amstell and Chris Langham.

Influences: Epic Soundtracks, The Carpenters, Giant Sand, Darren Hayman, Harry Nilsson, Prefab Sprout, Robyn Hitchcock, Mark Eitzel, Rotifer, Allo Darlin'
